incidentally, i have found a solution to this problem:
don't install to sata.
it seems to be working out quite well for me at least.
j/k really, but in my case there is no workaround.
no matter what i do, suse keeps using /dev/mapper - and every install fails
with the same error that has been reported for months.
for some stupid reason... someone thought it would be a good idea to force us
to install all of our software packages before installing a boot loader. so we
have to wait 30-50 minutes before we get to find out if the boot loader will
work or not. what brainiac came up with that idea? the boot loader should be
installed and fully tested immediately following the partitioning and
formatting operations. period.
final is under a month away, looks like my install will be ide.
