I experienced a kernel oops when trying to install openSUSE 10.2 in a VMware virtual machine hosted by an IBM Netfinity 5500 M10 8661 51Y running under Suse Linux 9.3. A screenshot of the oops is available at <http://www.rainer-klute.de/~klute/Misc/netfinity_oops.html>. On the same box openSUSE 10.1 installed successfully in a VMware virtual machine. It executes Suse Linux 9.3 as the host operating system. The kernel oopses on each of the installation variants, i.e. * Installation * Installation--ACPI Disabled * Installation--Local APIC Disabled * Installation--Save Settings * Rescue System The screenshot is visible when installing in text mode only. In the graphics mode the installation just hangs. To reproduce the oops just start the installation: The kernel loads, starts to execute, and then... oops! I didn't try to install openSUSE 10.2 on the bare machine yet, i.e. without VMware. But since openSUSE 10.1 runs smoothly in a VM this shouldn't be an issue.
