The idea is to verify that the DVD is correct before rebooting again to install. Maybe it is bad.
Right.
Just for the record, so to speak, yesterday I was forced by circumstances to re-install Leap 15.0 on my laptop.
I have a DVD which has been checked for errors (there are none), and the surface of the DVD is perfectly clean and yet, when the DVD 'booted' and I selected "Installation" from the menu, the loading of the kernel "stopped, short, never to go again" some 25 seconds into the process.
I then rebooted the laptop and when Leap 15's menu came up I typed "nomodeset" on the kernel command line, pressed ENTER ... and the installation then proceeded without a hitch.
"Good!", I thought to myself, "now I can tell Carlos that what I stated earlier is proven." :-)
:-) There was someone recently that could install from USB stick, but the DVD worked - or the other way round, I don't remember. Very surprising. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
