Ralf Vogt reported the same in Bug 299010 - openSUSE 10.3 installation, and so far the response from Matej Horvath was "Please attach your Yast Logs". There are no yast logs, the installation has barely begun and certainly nothing has yet been written to disk!

This problem was NOT present in Alpha7 so what has changed and why? The roadmap for Alpha7 states "Milestone: Feature and version freeze for the base system" clearly this has not happened, why?

What is the point of testing if you guys keep moving the goal posts?

Feature freeze does not mean that bug fixes for one thing trigger other bugs. I tried the medium you describe in a vmware instance and it worked fine and others tested x86_64 installations without a problem. I think the problem is that we switched to squashfs for beta1 for the installation media to save 12MB for stuff we urgently need on the CDs. And this seems to break some x86_64 machines and we're not yet sure why. But that's why we did it for beta1.

The 32 bit install works just fine and the it even comes up with the gui and not just an ncurses install. 64 was broken also for me though.
