Description Giuseppe Gorgoglione 2012-06-06 12:01:00 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1163.0 Safari/537.1

During openSUSE 12.2 Beta 1 installation, while the first part (software installation) is normally performed through the classic GTK-based GUI, the second part (system configuration) starts in fall-back text mode.

At system restart, before system configuration, GRUB2 complains that:

"VGA=0x332 is deprecated. Use set gfxpayload=896x672x24,896x672 before linux command instead."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openSUSE 12.2 beta 1 on VMware Workstation Player
2. Wait for system configuration dialog box prompting for Hostname and Domain Name, which is displayed in text mode.
Actual Results:  
System configuration steps done in ncurses-based fallback mode.

Expected Results:  
The system installation should be completely performed through GTK-based GUI.

Sorry my description was incomplete. I'll try to capture the logs you need, but before of that, I missed to report that right after the software package installation completes, a dialog box in GUI installer appears, reporting that:

(dialog box title)
An error occurred during initrd creation.

(dialog box message)
Perl-Bootloader 2012-06-12 01:02:31 ERROR: Core::ReadFiles: Failed to open /boot/grub2/device.map. Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14.2/Bootloader/Core/GRUB2.pm line 1023. There was an error generating initrd (2)
