Hi, has anyone of you installed SuSE 10.1 or 10.2 from a network/CD installation source in SLES 10 (with/without yast)? Every time I try it, the installation goes up to the checking of the installation sources and then falls back to yast (all ssh/vnc sessions killed, just the console). After that I have to reboot the guest to try the installation again.

After giving 1500 MB to an installation it works perfectly. I assume that adding the installation source uses so much memory, that the instllation dies.

Before that it was worse. Probably what you see when instaling. Did you try the "reloaded" version of 10.1?> After giving 1500 MB to an installation it works perfectly.

This evening I did a reinstall of a guest and reconfigured it with 1200MB, which worked. After the installation 256MB were enough. But someone here mentioned if I''m using the first edition. I''m doing a nightly sync from mirrorservice.org so that''s my "edition". I assume that''s the not patched one? (We just using here servers with =>2 CPUs and => 2GB RAM so noone would recognize memory consumption during installation ;-) In the next days my Intel VT machine will arraive so I will do some more testing. If anyone is interested give me a private mail. Thanks Jan _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Also I never do an online update during installation, because that would give me some random mirror on the internet, not the local update server which is just one hop away.> I''m doing a > nightly sync from mirrorservice.org so that''s my "edition".
