AFAIR I was using text-mode installation, and I realized that YaST is silently busy an extended amount of time after reboot, and it expects the installation DVD being stil in the drive. I cannot remember any unusual popup messages. Maybe if the final configuration is expected to happen after reboot, maybe that phase silently failed? I did the install at least on three identical servers, and the result was identical (e.g. empty root password).

The installation restarted only once, as can be seen by grepping attachment 108465 for "y2base".

When yast2 terminates because of uncatched exception, the're not called. The original reason for the "Mounting media failed" is a HAL problem. The CD handler in libzypp trys to check if "/dev/hda" is a valid CD-ROM drive device using HAL, but this fails: 2006-11-07 14:49:12 <5> linux(4397) [base] Exception.cc(log):94 HalContext.cc(HalContext_Impl):235 THROW: HalContext.cc(HalContext_Impl):235: Hal Exception: No reply within specified time (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply) Because the CD handler does not consider /dev/hda as valid drive and is unable to mount anything else, it throws a media mount exception, that is cached by the source: 2006-11-07 14:49:12 <5> linux(4397) [base] Exception.cc(log):94 SourceImpl.cc(provideJustFile):374 CAUGHT: MediaHandler.cc(attach):626: Failed to mount /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001 on Mounting media failed : cd:///?devices=/dev/hda,/dev/sr0 Then the SourceManager releases all media sources, tries to attach the CD again (2006-11-07 14:59:00), drives in same problem and releases all media sources again. The difference is, that now yast2 goes down (zypp calls the cleanup methods / destructors): 2006-11-07 15:04:53 <1> linux(4397) [zypp::SourceManager] SourceManager.cc(~SourceManager):139 Deleted SourceManager Singleton.
