I had the same problem until i chose installation over ssh. It seems like
if you chose another type of installation (X or VNC) in a middle of
proccess program lost connection to media.

Subject: SLES8 Install Problems
And I thought this install would be easier than SLES7!
I'm doing an FTP install which works perfectly until it's time to select
the software package. I followed the partitioning instructions for DASD
from the cd docs and the many hints from this lists archives (dasdfmt and
fdasd from an out-of-install putty session before the accept). All the
mounts look good. Then I get the infamous messages on the Installation
Settings screen about Not enough disk space even for a minimal
installation! and the *ERROR: No proposal.
How do I set the proposal? I go into the Software Selection screen and all
that is displayed is the detailed selection option. When I go into that
option there are no files displayed at all.
Anybody have any ideas?
Below are some command results for dasd. I have dasda mounted as swap,
dasdb as /usr, dasdc as /.
inst-sys:/ # cat proc/dasd/devices
0200(ECKD) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : active at blocksize: 4096, 36000

/dev/loop0 85692 85692 0 100% /mounts/instsys
Also on another note: the automated install parms. It works great except
for the last input needed for:
1) X-Window
2) VNC (VNC-Client or Java enabled Browser)
3) ssh
Choice:Which terminal do want to use?
I can't find the appropriate parameter for this one. I tried the
INST_SCREEN=ssh but to no avail. Anyone come up against this one?
Thanks in advance
Scott
