Hey guys,
so I tried to install OpenSuse in a virtual machine in OracleVM but get a weird error that won’t disappear no matter what I try. I even tried reinstalling OpenSuse multiple times with no luck. Can anybody help?
This is what I see when it gets stuck:

When you created the VirtualBox Virtual Machine did you, before you began to install Leap 15.1, do the following:
- Ensure that, your host machine’s EFI or BIOS has been setup to support Virtual Machines? – Please check the Handbook of your Mainboard.
- Select “Linux” as the guest OS?
- Select “openSUSE” as the guest OS?
- Select a 64-bit guest OS?
- Select BIOS or EFI?
- Enable I/O APIC for the motherboard of the VM?
- Chipset: usually “PIIX3” is OK but, some of us are using the “ICH9” setting.
- Hardware Clock in UTC Time?
- Enable PAE/NX?
- Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-V?
- Paravirtualization Interface?
- Hardware Virtualization?
- Enable Nested Paging?
- Graphics Controller: VMSVGA? – “This is the default graphics controller for Linux guests.”
- Enable 3D Acceleration?
Apart from all that, did you allocate enough Virtual Disk space for your VM?
Also, did you allocate enough graphics memory for the VM?

Was forced to reinstall OpenSuse. Now it works. Thank you very much.
FYI
OracleVM is not the same as Virtualbox… not by a long shot, they have nothing in common.

I agree.
If “RonyaGer” had really been using the “Oracle VM Server for x86” then, openSUSE would have disappeared … >:)
Installing Oracle VM Server deletes any previous operating system and data on the computer.
On the other hand, maybe, he/she/it may have been really trying to install Leap 15 into an Oracle VM Server VM …
