Hi,

Did anyone try to install F11 Alpha as VirtualBox guest? Whenever I
try, installation goes fine, but the system won't boot, saying it
can't find /dev/root. It looks like installer sets wrong UUID of the
root partition in grub.conf. After I set the correct UUID, system
still wouldn't boot, with different message.


Do not use SATA.

In the fora I saw a problem someone had on a Linux host, sharing a partition to an opensuse 11 guest. Someone from Sun suggested the problem was in Linux by which I understood him to mean the host, and asked whether the problem occurred with a virtual disk.

I have the same problem with latest vbox under Windows Server 2003 running a Debian Testing guest, with a virtual disk. vbox doesn't have the assist stuff packaged for Debian, and I don't feel like fiddling with the rpm that is available.

The workaround is to choose IDE disk, not SATA.
