Installation on these machines is getting more and more difficult due to RAM requirements of the installer (especially the package manager). Right now the only way to install openSUSE on such a machine is to enable a swap partition at the beginning of installation.
You can only do that if the installer is able to proceed to the point where it asks whether to enable a swap partition which already exists on disk. The 10.2 one doesn't get that far with 128MB RAM, a black screen and hard-hang results. Hmm I think that box had onboard shared-mem graphics which prob effectively took 4-8MB off.
linuxrc in 10.2 is setup to ask for swap if you have less than about 256MB RAM (provided you already have a swap partition.) Just did a quick check and it works for me (even with mem=110m, which should approximate your config).
