It can't continue if it can't read packages off the disc. It sounds like you had a read error, for whatever reason (bad ISO image, bad burn, incompatibilities between burner and reader or something else)
There is an option at the start of the installer to verify your discs.
This was done...

Alright, then I suggest you switch to a text console with ctrl-alt-f2, copy /var/log/YaST2/y2log to someplace (if you can start the network, copy it to another machine, otherwise mount a floppy and copy it) then open a bug in bugzilla.novell.com and attach the log file to it Or, if you feel inclined to do a little detective work yourself, look through that y2log file and search for gettext, and see if you can find the error message that tells why it couldn't be read

Clint, I'm going to be doing an install of the 10.1 remastered this weekend, from CD's (if it will help, though I created a DVD as well). I can check this if you'll be so kind as to tell me about the package selection options You chose to use. I did notice on thing about the 10.1 remastered, the option to repair in stalled system now works. (Yes i verified the md5sum on the dl'ed original iso's and did a check media on the disk at install time.)
