When I get to the select system disk part if install, /dev/nvme0n1p4 is listed as OpenSUSE LEAP 15.2. But if I select this, I get a message saying it cannot be mounted.
mount:/mount/opt:special device/dev/disk/by_id/nvme-20025386361000b51-part4 does not exist
What is worse, it is impossible to get out of this state. cancel just repeats the error message, and I must kill it with the power button.
My guess it to do a blkid to get the UUID’s of the partitions.
Make a copy of the /etc/fstab so you can replace it if I am wrong and change the dynamic partition names to the UUID you got from the blkid command in the real /etc/fstab.
From what I know the /dev/disk/by-id/ are dynamic for each release and are not the same names in your upgrade - UUID’s do not change.
Swap has the format for the UUID lines in /etc/fstab.
good luck.
This is certainly unfriendly, and I have never had to do this with previous upgrades. Surely others would have complained??
I have run into the issue of disk id changing. In my case, it changed after install.
Is it
Better make that:
UUID=413ecd4c-9244-4905-86e1-28f9885bd5c0
(that is, omit the “-part4”).
you need what blkid shows - the same length as the swap UUID. just leave out the double quotes.

It boots in LEAP 15.2, so I have figured this out. Now I will change the other (extra) disks to UUID and retry the upgrade.

Have you complained? And no, forum post does not count. If you want something to be fixed you need to open bug report.
I think there is nothing to complain about. Switch everything to UUID and you are done. Use copy and paste to avoid typing errors:

Something on your computer executed genfstab without the -U option that changes the UUID to /dev/disk/by-id in /etc/fstab
I have seen rpm’s with genfstab renamed to xfstab and they changed the fstab = for the last 8 years you really need UUID’s in the fstab.
This is the first time I have seen this in openSUSE - RedHat/Centos lots of times, Ubuntu a few times - Adobe rpms seem to be the guilty party in the Ubuntu that I have seen.
