Hello all

I downloaded both the openSUSE-10.3-Alpha7-KDE-i386.iso and
openSUSE-10.3-Alpha7-GNOME-i386.iso this evening and when I tryed to install them on VMware 
on a opensuse 10.2 host I get the following error messages (in both cases) during the first
initial reboot after installing.


############ start #############
Invoking in_kernel resume from /dev/sda1
preping boot/84-mount.sh
running boot/84-mount.sh
Waiting for device /dev/sda2 to appear: ok
Mounting root /dev/sda2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2
    missing codepage or other error 
    In some case useful info is found in syslog - try
    dmesg | tail or so

could not mount root filesytem --exiting to /bin/sh
sh: no job control in this shell
############ end #############

I posted a photo error for the openSUSE-10.3-Alpha7-KDE-i386.iso at 
http://perso.orange.fr/j.pearson/alpha7.error.png


Is anyone else experiencing this problem?


Here are the md5sum of the two CD 

dd3eeebfa3eacf4368c6f3b0ce280e24  openSUSE-10.3-Alpha7-KDE-i386.iso

TIA
James
