Hi Kumba,
in order to give some feedback from redux packages,
after a test install of version 3.1.8 64bit on vmware (32bit works) I got the same error mentioned here: http://www.vicidial.org/VICIDIALforum/v ... ght=#59706

probably re-introduced in 3.1.7 64bit (not tested)

Actually, VMWare has demonstrated a severe dislike for 64bit OpenSuSE on many occasions. Try it in a real machine.

Andre, it actually has nothing to do with vmware, it's a known bug with the kernel the vicibox installs. It does not have the megaraid_sas driver, which happens to be LSI. VMWare uses LSI as it's RAID controller, as with most Dell and HP servers.

The fix is to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the kernel versions to this:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-0.7-default root=/dev/sda2 resume=/dev/sda1 splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x314 ipv6.disable=1
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.7-0.7-default


That'll fix it permanently.

To boot up after the os-install, you need to restart, get to the grub screen, hit e on openSUSE 11.3 then e again on the kernel and initrd lines. Make the changes, hit enter to back up one screen and when you've made the changes to both lines, hit b to boot. Then make the changes to the file I talked about above.

Oh and I added the ipv6.disable=1 entry in there myself. That'll disable ipv6. You can remove it if you want to use ipv6. Not sure if its even supported with vicidial though.

thanks!

The Operating System supports IPv6, but ViciDial is not set-up to support it just yet.
