I am pretty sure now the missing suse-module-tools-scriptlets is the problem. I went ahead and continued installing with the following: * Set boot manager to "NOT MANAGED" so no boot manager. * In software selection I located and added/checked suse-module-tools-scriptlets, this resulted in MANY dependencies added, including several YAST modules. Installation finished and booted normally! Although the machines are different they are both Macs, first one I was installing on has NVME SSD internal, the other normal internal SSD and HD. I don't think that makes any difference here although I will install this way on the first machine in a few hours just to make sure. So I think TW/OS has a problem when not installing boot manager (and no EFI partition specified?). This was not a problem in 2022 and prior.
