Each loads the installer then presents blank,black, screen with fast blinking cursor (underscore) in upper left corner of monitor. I believe I setup the network installer correctly for static IP and http target.
The original DVD still boots the installer and runs into the kernel panic.
This new behavior smells like a problem getting graphics mode installation to start with your GPU. You can try appending nomodeset to the installer cmdline before proceeding with boot. If that doesn't work, try appending textmode=1 instead. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Linuxrc
The ("a" ?) "Graphics" screen appears when the CD or DVD first loads, presenting the choices for boot hard disk, installation, etc., with the various F-key choices at the bottom. The behavior noted previously happens after selecting and initiating "Installation". For the "network" install, I first use the F4 key to select Http and set a static IP, etc, for the machine. I am perplexed by your suggestion regarding the "installer cmdline", "before proceeding with boot". "Booting" has already occurred, from the CD or DVD and it presents the "graphical display" with choices as to how to proceed.
