[sle-beta] Trying to upgrade to SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 2 Public Release Candidate 1

[Joe Doupnik]

     As you requested. Yes, the next step is the screen should change 
and offer you further installation choices. On my gear I am testing with 
SLES15 SP2 running within a regular VMware ESXi server, not the HyperV 
kind. I would assume there is a hardware driver conflict which holds 
back your system, and if finally located then reporting it to the beta 
team would be valuable. Let's assume the NICs are the guilty parties. 
Thus try removing one temporarily and see what happens. I will say that 
SLES15 SP2 seems to be a little more picky about the hardware than we 
are accustomed, because I have run into some video driver (as simulated 
by ESXi v6.0) glitches.
     Thanks,
     Joe D.
