Re: Call for testing

Ok, the fix is known. The question is are we able to fix it?
installation images made on x86 box using x86 kiwi. In order to fix
it, we have to fix kiwi.

Since 12.2(x86) is frozen now. It is almost not possible.
The solution might be to prefer ppc kiwi in the project
configuration.. Don't know if it possible at all.

Once I figured that part out and using the work around from Alexander, I got it to boot and started the installation; however, it seems that DNS is not working. I was asked for the HTTP IP address - something that I do not know. The wired interface on the Mac is working.
