so I simply decided to try and reinstall Leap 42.2 again...

I am guessing/suspect fd1 may be my 7200RPM drive so perhaps something is getting clobbered in the /boot/efi partition?)
No, fd0 is floppy. Make sure that the floppy is disabled in the BIOS. As it does not exist, the installed and the prober gets into trouble.
Um there is no ability to disable a floppy disk in my BIOS.. (are such ancient medieval devices still supported? I wonder who still uses them and whether one can even get 3.5, 5 or 8 inch floppy disks any more... Gosh I might have a few buried around here somewhere but no way to use them. Looking at my motherboards around here I don't see any with an interface for em either, but maybe they are supported by USB or something else nowadays. WOW! I didn't expect this to be something I should have to even consider!
