Has anyone succedeed installing Opensuse 10.2 in VMWare Workstation? Here it hangs immediately after the boot, even with safe settings. I've seen these symptoms with one 10.2 machine. Try appending "nosmp" to the boot options (start typing at the bootloader with the installation option selected). Of course it's likely to be an unrelated problem, but worth a try. It worked, but in the middle of disk installation the virtual machine crashed complaining about a "vide" unsupported operation(DVD was the iso image in an ide drive, but HD was SCSI).
I did tell it that it in creating the VM that it was "Other 2.6 Kernel" rather than SuSE. What version of VM Workstation are you running? VMware on Windows or Linux? VMWare Workstation 5.5.3 under SuSE 10.1 Could be hardware configuration too. Minimal, no floppy, no sound, LSI Logic SCSI adapter.
I am going to guess this is an issue with your DVD drive or the DVD itself as I installed from a DVD drive with no problems. Have you attempted a new burn of the DVD with a verify? Could be a combination of the DVD, SuSE 10.1 and the VMware layer but that is going for the roll of the dice.
