file:/var/adm/mount/boot/x86_64/common: SHA1 sum wrong.
If you really trust your repository, you may continue in an insecure mode.
I compared the SHA-256 hashes of the iso I downloaded and the one specified on the download page and they matched. I also checked the installation medium and it was fine.
Why does this happen? Has anyone else encountered this?
10x
P.S. I’m installing this to a VMWare virtual machine but this shouldn’t matter, right?
I’m trying to install it in VMWare Player too.
My player is version 4.0.1 build-528992. What’s yours? And what are the hardware settings of your VM? Have you changed anything in the VM BIOS?
I’m getting the same SHA1 error when installing from a DVD created from the 12.1 iso file.
I can boot the system off of the DVD without problems, and the media check is fine. I can then proceed with the install without error.
I can also perform the media check from within the VMware install, and it is also good. But when I continue and attempt the install from within VMware, I get this SHA1 error.
Another note, I have no problem installing in VMware when I simply mount the 12.1 iso file. So there is obviously something different when the iso is burned onto the DVD.

I haven’t tried to install from real DVD in vmware, makes no sense to me as
the iso image is somewhere in the HD and is faster. I’ll try someday.
Ok, trying now, I’m curious.

Apparently it checked fine (yast check medium module).

It is actually better to have it on a DVD so that it is not taking up HD space, and you don’t need the iso file on every system that you intend to install it on.
Yes, the YaST check medium module works fine for me too when checking the DVD. The error stated in this thread occurs when you attempt the actual installation. Did you try that?

I keep the iso image on my main machine, and delete it when I upgrade. I
use the dvd for installation, but never used it for vmware install.

No, I would have to create enough space for another virtual machine. I
might try later.

Ok, trying now. It has switched to text mode to run the verification, after
booting a kernel.

It verifies correctly.
After that it starts loading installation images, and the installation
system starts. I stopped here, I don’t need a second virtual system at this
point.
Note: the first screen vmware player displays when you say you want to
create a new machine is whether to use a dvd image, a real dvd, or install
yourself later. Choose the last option.

Yes, the verification of the disk is fine. That’s not the problem.
Can you be more specific about where in the installation process that you stopped it? A new openSuSE virtual image won’t be created until you go through all of the installation openSuSE options and configuration then chose to continue.
Regarding your “Note” - Yes, but that doesn’t have anything to do with this problem. The problem occurs even after selecting “install yourself later” and then a DVD install is attempted, from the physical DVD not the DVD image.

At the first prompt.

I know. Ok, I’m attempting to install now from dvd.

Real installation proceeding.
1st reboot proceeding.
Secondary configuration proceeding.
Network test.
Skipping update.
Hardware configuration proceeding.
Finished.
Real 1st reboot.
No problem, the installation from the real DVD worked flawlessly.
Now to delete the install…
