Installation second stage (after reboot) is going through. The screen is frozen.
Any similar experience?
I just completed an install of 11.2 on VBox 3.0.12. So it seems to work on this end.
Just for the record, I had a CentOS 5.4 installation in VirtualBox that was running fine until we updated from 3.0.4 to 3.0.12. Now I keep getting kernel panics during the boot.
I don’t know if it’s VirtualBox or some kernel updates that Cent performed.
I do know that Opensuse 64 bit will NOT install in VirtualBox. Are you using 32-bit or 64?

Huh? I just installed the 64-bit version of 11.2 on VBox 3.0.12 (running the same version (64-bit) as the host). Do you mean you cannot install the 64-bit version on a 32-bit host?
Host: openSUSE 11.2 64bit
Guest: Same
Now, I tried again (a text installation).
After the first stage of the installation, it comes to login prompt (instead of rebooting for the second stage). I can login as root at that stage and when I reboot, it comes to the screen saying “The previous installation has failed. Would you like it to continue? [Note: You may have to enter some information again.]”.
I chose “Yes”, it displayed some messages (scrolled off) and came to login prompt. I can login there now but the installation is not complete. It comes to the same state when I reboot.
You were lucky.

In fairness, I probably shouldn’t have said, “cannot install.” Obviously, you were able to. But a lot of other people (including yours truly) had no such luck. And referring again to the CentOS thing, my assistant and I spent (wasted) a couple of hours on that yesterday. We finally gave up on the x64 version and installed the 32-bit version of Cent5.4 … and it worked fine.
Maybe there’s a setting that can be diddled somewhere, but I don’t have time to search for it. Look in the VirtualBox forums and there are a lot of complaints from people trying to get x64 to work under VB version 3. But here’s the real kicker: you might indeed get it to work – at first. (At least, we did with Cent.) But a kernel update probably killed us, and we need stability.
Thanks for pointing out that bugzilla link. That is exactly my problem.
You’re most welcome, but I have to give credit: I got if from a forum regular en-handled Chrysantine in another thread. 
I did an install of vbox on win 7 x64 host and proceed to install with opensuse 11.2 x64 KDE and it completed the installation and boot to KDE but the mouse just froze in the opensuse KDE. None of the keyboard command works. So I ditch that and reinstall with GNOME and it worked correctly. However attempts to install the Guest Additions failed even after installing gcc, gcc-c++, kernel-source.
BUT it looks like the mouse movement from Windows Host to Opensuse guest worked as if the Guest Addition already pre-installed. I meant you don’t need to click to Ctrl key to release the mouse, which I have to when my Centos 5.4 doesn’t have the Guest Addition.
By the way, all my Linux guests (Lenny, Centos and Opensuse) are x64.
Now, to test Linux-HA in a few suse guests in vbox.
Yea, I think she is the only regular female “threader” here. Thanks to her too.
How do you test the health-monitoring part via serial ports?
Hi all,
I’m testing openSUSE 11.2 on VirtualBox 3.0.12. Host system is WXP PRO SP3. After sucessfull install I boot Linux. During starting sequence keyboard and mouse works correctly. But in login screen both input devices stop work and I’m not able to type login or click anywhere.
Does anyone have this problem?
You can verify that if it due to X configuration or not. Boot in text mode and see.
