The boot up process appears to load both IDE and SATA drivers, so I presume there is a problem with the SATA (sata_sis) driver. Is this likely to be fixed by 10.3 GM or will I have to stay with 10.2?
Please report it in bugzilla (for details see http://bugs.opensuse.org) - otherwise there's no chance at all.
There might be a workaround... When the installation starts (Linuxrc) and drivers loaded, see which modules/drivers are used for your SATA disk/controller. There should be list of drivers that could be used. Then, you can try to disable the first, (first and second, ...) module to force Linuxrc to skip it (them) and try the next one.
