It dies in the > bootloader. both isolinux and grub fail to switch into gfx mode, which likely is caused by either incomplete real mode emulation or big real mode. Workaround for grub: just turn off the eye candy, comment the gfxmenu line in /boot/grub/menu.lst. Kicking the installation is a bit harder as you can't just go and edit the isolinux.cfg on the cdrom. One way is to use normal qemu (without kvm acceleration) for installation and fixing up menu.lst, then go ahead with the kvm version ... reproduce: fetch the boot iso[1], boot with "-cdrom /path/to/mini.iso -boot d" cheers, Gerd [1] http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/iso/cd/openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso -- Gerd Hoffmann ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
