BTW: Why is your system so terrible slow ? Are you using a VM ?
Real G31/ICH7 hardware that was working fine until trying a fresh TW installation. The two previous TW installations work normally, as do 42.2 and 42.3. The only VMs I use are for DOS under OS/2 for which Linux distros provide no equivalence. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The root filesystem is not formatted by YaST but simply reused. I would not recommended that. Old files could cause trouble. Like the procedure is unsupported.
My installations are virtually always to multiboot. "Reuse" here means special preparation by booting anything else prior to starting installation and selectively deleting from the target, so that /usr/, /sys/, /var/, /lib/, /bin/ among other necessaries are absent, most of /etc/ is absent, and selective portions of /boot/ and /root/, and custom / directories are preserved. This considerably speeds up re-customization when replacing existing installations, and provides several .rpmsave and .rpmnew files for examination. It was a long frustrating day of attempting to install first 15, and then several times TW. Let's assume I made a boo-boo and forgot to effectively clean /boot/. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
