To snarf the logfiles (for someone else reading this bug report) I did: At the grub menu hit "e" and edit the "linux" line adding/removing command line parameters. F10 or ctrl-X to boot. It monkeys with the NICs and pops the dialog "Cannot locate SuSE repo". Hit return; accept defaults (or change if desired) for language and keyboard. In the installer's main menu, scroll down to "Expert", then to "Start Shell". In the shell: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt (It helps to have memorized your devices.) cp /logfile /mnt/tmp/logfile.try1 umount /mnt exit (or do whatever other investigation). Indeed, if I specify netdevice=enp2s0 it only tries that device and doesn't touch the others (good). In the shell session I went through my guess of the setup procedure, successfully. This is from memory and irrelevant or failed command lines are omitted (remember "-c" on arping! No job control in the shell.) ip addr add 192.9.200.193/26 dev enp2s0 (try some stuff) ip addr del 192.9.200.193/26 dev enp2s0 (interface stays up) arping -b -c 3 -I enp2s0 -s 0.0.0.0 -D 192.9.200.193 (sent 3 broadcasts, 0 replies, good, -D = duplicate address detection) echo $? (prints 0, that wasn't the error culprit) ip addr add 192.9.200.193/26 dev enp2s0 arping -b -c 3 -I enp2s0 192.9.200.194 (3 unicast replies, exit code 0) curl http://192.9.200.194/SuSE/x86_64/13.1/media.1/media It delivered the media label: name and build date. So it's very mysterious why the installer thought the network was hosed. Also, this time unplugging enp0s18f2u1u1 (USB NIC) and specifying netdevice did not get it to boot. (Did I actually omit netdevice? I should have tried it today both ways.)
