I have a thinkstation s10, and disabled floppy device (although I do not have a physical floppy on my machine). The install of 12.3 and now 13.1 went through without an issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But if you wait enough it works. Can it be related to the ghost floppy device (I haven't a physical floppy device)?
