It turned out that downloading an iso image onto a corrupt xfs partition produces a corrupt installation media. This was also the cause of https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1199903 which I've closed as invalid.
In my case it was the files on the dvd that were corrupted.
That's what the "media check" during installation is for ;-)

My install of 15.4 was a disaster, my .run packages for my development ides and I suppose everything else, are corrupted and I suppose the installation media that I downloaded were corrupt right from the start because they were downloaded to a corrupt partition. I at least managed to get a workable root on a spare partion using Tumbleweed and could chroot and zypper dup to get a working system. The partitions must have got corrupted when my old mother board died and I started all this from a corrupt 15.3 system. I've learned the hard way, always perform xfs_repair before attempting to do anything after a crash. I'm going to try a fresh 15.4 install on my original root. Thanks for all the help Dave
