Created attachment 655453 [details]
two y2logs tgz sets in .zip from failing TW installation attempts on 32bit host
gx280

Attached are two sets of logs. The second is from a final try this evening
using mirrors.us.kernel.org as source instead of download.opensuse.org. The
latter set includes my mistake in not first ensuring en_US (which was Afrikaans
initially) before clicking Next on license screen, then clicking Back to fix at
first offered opportunity.

Mailing list thread:
http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2015-11/msg00066.html

This happened multiple times, then I wrote the mailing list explaining, then I
tried again, achieving normal success. Later I tried again, and repeated the
same failure, several times. Then trying yet again to get better logs and more
detailed bug description and reproduction steps, success, 4 times. Last I tried
the alternate installation source, which both succeeded and failed, then filed
this.

To reproduce:
1-initialize static IP TW HTTP installation using Grub to load linux and initrd
previously downloaded from mirrors (6 Nov. version)
2-click Next on license screen
3-click Next on Installation Options screen
4a-click create partition setup on suggested partitioning screen (which
announces no automatic proposal possible), or
4b-click expert partitioner on suggested partitioning screen, next, then custom
partitioning (for experts), next

Actual behavior:
1-(if 4a) screen offering custom partitioning for experts is (quickly) skipped
2-expert partitioner screen (quickly) appears showing entire /dev/sda is
unpartitioned
3-fdisk -l on vtty2 shows all 31 existing partitions on /dev/sda

Expected behavior:
1-screen offering expert mode appears that when clicked results in
2-expert partitioner screen appearing,
3-showing all existing partitions on /dev/sda
