Sure, I never assumed a fork. A fork would involve forking around 5 source
packages. No one has ever done this. There are only derivatives

Dear all
I would like to provide some inside explanation, as I am the maintainer
of http://repo.powerprogress.org/
Our repository is highly experimental and it was NOT created to
establish a new fork of Debian, but solely to try better identifying and
possibly fixing those software that has p

table, so it's most likely pointless to continue without being able to
set the partition table type
I managed to re-install openSUSE, still without success.
This time I used the NET install image of Tumbleweed instead of the DVD.
While trying this image I discovered by chance that the hang at boot was
due to a failed attempt to mount a partition where OpenSUSE was
previously installed.
