Did it say something like "Error. Cannot prepare the virtual machine environment The installation will be aborted"? This might relate to another (internal) bug. No, there was no (obvious) message/warning.
I remember the following events (not sure about the sequence)
after trying to start the installation -- without any user action ("press OK" or whatever...):
- there was a message like "starting the virtual machine"
- the yast2 xen install setup closed
- the xterm for the virtual console popped up for a very short time and
immedieately closed again

Die installation wird abgebrochen. OK" anything I can change/try/test/... ?? *** Bug 151799 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** OK then it is obviously the same problem as in the other bug ;) Reassigning... I hope the problem with different probelem occurence with Paravirtualisation/Full virtualisation is covered as well. Could you test the latest beta, please? (and attach y2logs when it still happens) This defect is fixed for me in the latest beta. I have the problem in openSUSE 10.2 too. YaST doesn not install the package "install-initrd" within YaST's XEN module. After installing "install-initrd" manually I see, that there are missing dependencies to "install-initrd": $ rpm -q yast2-vm xen install-initrd yast2-vm-2.14.2-7 xen-3.0.3_11774-20 install-initrd-1.0-72 $ rpm -q --requires install-initrd rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 /usr/bin/perl rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1 $ rpm -q --provides install-initrd install-initrd = 1.0-72 $ rpm -q --whatrequires install-initrd no package requires install-initrd It might be strange but Yast really doesn't need install-initrd package installed. The trick is that yast uses install-initrd from the installation source when creating a new VM. Using in this case means download, unpack, modify it for kernel-xen and copy it to the VM's directory. The reason is that you need install-initrd from the system which will be installed not from the running system (imagine e.g. openSUSE10.3 in VM which runs on top of SLES10 - you don't want to use install-initrd from SLES in openSUSE...) Yast needs install-initrd but it's a runtime (soft) dependency - the package is used/downloaded only when needed. |
