Can I somehow get vm-install to install a 32bit paravirtualized openSUSE11.2 on my 64 bit openSUSE 11.2? Maybe by editing /var/lib/YaST2/install.inf ?
Sure. You can do that in vm-install. Just select 'Operating System Settings' and then change the 'Network URL' text field to point at the appropriate 32bit URL installation source.
I'm afraid it's impossible this way. OpenSUSE repositories contain both 32bit and 64bit packages.
You could create your own from the 32bit ISO.
Finally I figured out that, by choosing repository, you cannot influence the architecture of the domU to install. Instead you have to choose between repo/oss/boot/i386/vmlinuz-xen combined with repo/oss/boot/i386/initrd-xen, and repo/oss/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-xen combined with repo/oss/boot/x86_64/initrd-xen to start the paravirtualized domU on. The kernel commandline must define the same repositor URL (install=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss) for both 32 and 64 bit installations, the configuration stored in inird (I assume) will affect the architecture of downloaded rpms during installation. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
