I suspect the device mapper module (dm_mod) to be the culprit. I am
not sure if a text-based install is still possible, but if so, try
starting the installation in textmod and try to switch to another
console an unload (rmmod dm_mod) the device mapper module if loaded.
Since I haven't done a text-based installation for years I can't be
more precise here. Repeat this procedure before the second CD is read
by YaST. Hope this points you to the right direction.
