Mandriva 2010

Post by coffeetime »

Hello gang!

Tried to install Mandriva 2010 Beta1 to Vbox 3.0.0, but no go. Updated Vbox to 3.0.4 and no effect. Cheked md5sum and all is ok.

Tried with .iso and DVD, again no go. After choosing in Grub "Install" I get Mandriva's checking USB and than crash or just a blank black screen. My CPU goes crazy and nothing happens. Vbox log:

At the moment I'm running 4 distros+Win xP & Win7 without any problems. Mandy should be the seventh one :D . So, any thoughts?

Try disabling usb for the guest.

I managed to make it work by disabling IO APIC.

But after the installation completed and I rebooted, I see the cursor but the screen is BLACK.

I think it has something to do with 3d graphic but don't know how to fix it.

Thank for the help
