Can't install Sabayon 8 from live DVD

[dpeirce]

I'm trying to install Sabayon 8 in Virtualbox 4.1.8. I downloaded Sabayon_Linux_8_amd64_Kiso. The md5sum is correct. I've allotted 2 GB RAM memory and 10 GB to that virtual machine.

Loading the ISO file into Virtualbox, it opens to the normal menu. I click the first option, to open the live DVD version, which opens normally. I click the "Install" icon, the little cog bounces up and down a while, and then goes away. I also tried the "Graphical Install" option, but the resulting Fluxbox didn't seem to have any way of installing the system to hard drive.

All the instructions I've been able to locate assume I got past this point, but I haven't. I did try using the KPartition utility from the live DVD to make a 32 MB FAT32 partition, a 9.6 GB partition for boot, and a 600MB partition for swap, thinking it might not be opening the installer because it needed those partitions first, but the installer still refuses to open - and now I've wiped a perfectly good Sabayon 7 system from that VM. I'm not able to find a way to mark the 32 MB partition for BIOS; the KPartition utility doesn't seem to have this ability. Gparted apparently isn't available.

The Forum search wouldn't accept my search terms (various arrangements of 'install sabayon 8 live DVD') and poking around didn't reveal anything helpful, although I might have missed it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would suggest running anaconda from terminal to see if it spits out any errors. I can't for the life of me remember the command to fire it up tho. It's been too long since I had to do that. /opt is the path, poke around for that.

I am also facing issue in running Sabayon 8 Live on virtual box. I am trying to boot with Sabayon_Linux_8_x86_G.iso in Live mode. It boots and gives me different options, I select "Sabayon 8 GNOME", it starts to boot but stops after few second. It keeps displaying "Initial kernel"... Can some one help me ...

Second apology: I don't know enough to pick out what's significant, so I copied out the whole thing.

wolfden, this is totally weird! After running # anaconda as I described above, just for fun I clicked again on the "Install to Hard Drive" icon in the live DVD. Sabayon installed!!!

First, I installed Opera and got rid of Chromium!! (Sorry if that's your favorite, but I don't do Google any more.) The update proceeded normally, but it was a pretty big one. However, everything looks good so far.

I don't understand this .

Also, sorry about posting the same thing twice; I thought I was still editing the post. Feel free to delete one of them.

well at least it all worked out, I'm not a fan of anaconda at all, seems to be more buggy than stable.
