trying to install OS 16 o n a laptop with dual graphic from a USB stick:
I can boot, select to install and the typical messages run over the display.
it ends in a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner.

OS 15.6 is running fine on the laptop.

This is documented in the release notes and in many forum threads.

You need to add nomodeset to the kernel command line to get the installation going. After you have installed the graphic drivers for your dual setup, you can remove nomodeset.

How to add nomodeset to the kernel command line:

• When you are at grub boot loader screen, move the selection to “Install Leap 16.0” but don’t hit Enter
• simply hit “e”
• Navigate with the arrow keys to the line which starts with “linux”
• Hit “end” at your keyboard
• Put a blank and nomodeset at the end of this line
• Hit “F10”

Since you already have 15.6, the easiest way (from my experience) is a distribution upgrade with “zypper dup”, as described in this post: Serious mess when upgrading select machines from 15.6 to 16.0 - similar thread - #11 by ks25.
