The install needs ide-generic (and various PCMCIA modules for network), falls back to curses UI but completes the first stage OK. However it won't boot - it seems the initrd hasn't included ide-generic so the hard disc never appears to the kernel. Tried "modprobe ide-generic" but clearly the system hasn't got far enough to find the module yet. Please open a bug. Instructions are at http://en.opensuse.org/Submit_a_Bug
It should work with 10.1. In 10.0 you would have to boot with 'insmod=ide-generic'.
I thought I had found a bug - looks like it was known and fixed in 10.1? I couldn't see any mention in the docs and list archives.
See e.g. bug #135612. The problem with ide-generic is that the module has no modalias, so you don't know when to load it. 10.1 has a workaound for this. Steffen
