Sorry, for not being clear, I use the VBoxManager clonevdi command to clone a drive that contains an openSUSE installation. But, when I try to use the drive I cloned to boot I have this problem and the error I reported is thrown.

Did I understand correctly that by "clone" you mean either converting a real disk contents to a VDI/VMDK file or setting up raw disk/partition access? Because from the error messages you get it seems it's an existing openSUSE installation, which assumes to be running off a SCSI or SATA disk (as the latter also usually appear as SCSI disks). VirtualBox currently only provides regular ATA (PATA) support, so the disk device names are /dev/hd*, not /dev/sd* as assumed by the installation. You usually need to change /etc/fstab to reflect the different devices. -- Dr. Klaus Espenlaub innotek AG, http://www.innotek.de _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
