Update version for 1.3.0-rc2 I also run the media check from the installer and it says its OK. The only abnormal think i could see is a message about the network interface, but it doesn't seen to affect the behavior in the rootfs guests: Starting udev... ibmveth 1001: (unregistered net_device): unable to change checksum offload settings. 1 rc=-2 ret_attr=1001 This last time I run, before that first error I mentioned I got this error in this package: Installation of package ./suse/ppc64/liborc-0_4-0-0.4.11-7.5.23.ppc64.rpm failed. Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-lookup but after retrying it passed. But when it hit the vi-base it stuck in that error no matter how many times I retry or skip the package. Erlon
