When I get to the language selection I dropped down to <alt-F2> and
mounted the partitions. This had no effect on the install process, I
still cannot "upgrade" my system. Another question I have is why are
modules being loaded for the controller when it has clearly been loaded
already while the install kernel is being loaded?

This clearly points to a problem with parted and the "bug" has _NOT_
been "resolved" as stated in
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219496 (at lease not for
openSUSE 10.2GM)


Comment #2 From Thomas Fehr 2006-12-04 10:54:16 MST  
Problem fixed in STABLE and SLES10 SP1

apparently didn't make it into openSUSE 10.2 GM.
