[opensuse] Xen DomU installation problems
I'm attempting to install Fedora 9 as a DomU on my laptop which runs OpenSuse 10.3 but I'm running into a slight problem that I can't see to work around. I'm running the regular xen kernel and have virtualization support enabled for my processor (Duo Core 2 on a Dell Lat D520). When I start the installation procedure the tightVNC window opens up and I get to see the first load screen for Fedora for just a brief second, then the window changes size and it goes completely black. Regardless of how long I wait nothing again becomes viewable and I have to close the window and end up getting an installation error from Xen. I've done some poking around and haven't been able to come up with any reason why this is happening or any solution. Would anyone here be able to point me in the right direction? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What is the point of using xen? Faster, better hardware simulation? I tried to install it once and system was very busy for a while, so I interrupted installation and went back to Qemu. Recently I started to use VirtualBox. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Because I want to learn how to use it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
So anyone happen to have an explanation, or be able to point me in the right direction on this problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Sorry. Based on your comments, I'm not sure where you have looked. But the best advice I can offer is to ask the same question over at Xen Support and Google of course. -=Xen Support=- Mailing List http://lists.xensource.com/ (You can search the archives online.)
