I used to install Opensuse on many computers using a mounted .iso file nfs-shared over my home network.
Booting the “to be installed computer” with the -NET cd, pressing F4 to specify DHCP+NFS…
It worked great until 11.4; when Yast starts, I’m stuck with this error message:
“Unable to create repository from URL ‘nfs://192.168.2.10/vm/iso_mount’.
Details: Failed to mount 192.168.2.10:/vm/iso_mount on /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001: Unable to verify that the media was mounted”
I can confirm that before starting yast, the mount is ok and that the “Installation system” is loaded over nfs from the server machine.
Unfortunately I don’t have an answer but have experienced the same problem. When I get this error I switch to one of the virtual terminals and can mount the nfs export manually no problems. I ended up changing to a http url instead of nfs and it works for me know.

If two people have this problem, surely you should report in bugzilla.
