at that stage, switch to the console via CTRL+ALT+F2 and take a look 
at /etc/install.inf
That file should reflect some info file parameter including the autoyast=... 
line and the "InstMode","Serverdir" and "ServerIP" for remote 
installations.
If that looks good, take a look at "/var/log/YaST2/y2log" too. Near to the 
end you should see what autoyast has tried to get the profile. Maybe you 
can see some errors logged there.
