opensuse 11.4 in virtual box (boot problem)

[choklad]

Hello,

Installed opensuse 11.4 in virtual box 4.0.4 r70112 (seemed just fine, no error or warnings or so).
But it doesn't start it gets stuck immediately after these lines:

INIT: version 2.88 booting
System Boot Control: Running /etc/init.d/boot
mounting mandatory filesystems ... done

Any help is most welcomed.

thanks & regards,
choklad

Hi@all

I have exactly the same problem with VirtualBox 3.2.12 OSE on FreeBSD 8.2 amd64. And it looks like this happens after installing some X related stuff inside openSUSE 11.4 guest.
The minimal 11.4 installation was able to boot after installation.

You dont have the same problem. Other host, other (to old) version, no infos. Please make an own thread.

@ Threadstarter: Have you enabled USB in the guest settings? If yes, try to disable it.

See this thread:

where using the "nopreload" boot option made booting possible. It worked for me on 11.4 also.

HI @all

This Append Option solves also my problem on the FreeBSD host using VB 3.2.12.

Thanx!
