dmesg output of boot after install

Hello!

I downloaded openSUSE Tumbleweed from
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation today. I attempted to
install on a Lenovo Thinkpad X250. I downloaded x86_64 image.

However, when creating a partition table the process y2base hangs at 100% CPU
utility and the parted process never finishes. I've tried both mbr and gpt
partition scheme, and the end result is the same. It hangs on "preparing disks"
and never goes any further. When using btrfs it never starts to show any
progress, while using ext4 it will briefly show 0% done before freezing. 

The last command from /var/log/YaST2/y2log is this:

SystemCmd.cc(execute):134 SystemCmd Executing: "/usr/sbin/parted  -s 
--wipesignatures --align=optimal '/dev/sda' unit cyl mkpart primary ext2 0 1"

So no matter what filesystem is use this command shows ext2. Is this correct?

I managed to work around this problem with creating filesystems manually on a
live-usb system and then not having the openSUSE installer format the drive
during install.
