I think in the meantime I could further narrow down the problem.
Since the partitions I need to use for installing openSuse almost all have
partition numbers >15, the installer informed me :-) about the new libata and
its ridiculous low count of only 15 partitions it can handle. So I got advised,
to use the kernel argument "hwprobe=-modules.pata" to fall back to the previous
type, which can handle many more partitions.
Apparently this very kernel argument now is causing trouble when it comes to
Configuring Installation Packages (or similar), right after the NIC page and
the selection of the Installation Type page.
For some reason, the installer now seems to lose its ability to still read from
the CD drive with the installation CD during the process.
So that is where the trouble seems to be rooted.
So, now I either can't install because of lack of support for more than 15
partitions or I cannot install, because the installer loses access to the
installation CD :-(
