Installation with Microsoft Virtual Server 2005

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi,

Here’s newbie.

I try to install OpenSuse 11 on a virtual server (Microsoft Virtual server 2005).
I downloaded the ISO image file.
The server boots on image and I have the first screen with choices of installation.

When I choose Installation, the window “Loading Linux kernel” appears, go to 100% and reboot the server.
And the server comes again to the first screen of installation.

I tested all F5 (Kernel choices) possible.
Nothing.
No error message.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

IMHO, Microsoft’s Virtual PC and/or Virtual PC don’t support non-Microsoft operating systems. >:(

I have been able to install OpenSuse on Virtual PC up until version 10.3. This week I plan to try to update it from there. installing 11.x hasn’t worked so far.

It won’t help you but I experienced the same problem.
I tried with the last beta of ubuntu, same thing.
As reference, here is the list of supported Linux distros for Virtual Server 2005 :
