Here's the deal, under VMplayer, there was no CD boot option. Under VMware Server, you have boot options in the bios. The bios was set to boot to CD first. Well my settings for CD was auto detect. Low and behold I have Alcohol 52% emulating ASG 7.004 ISO. So when trying to load VA ASG my ASG 7.004 ISO was attempting to install when it was already installed.
Apparently under openSUSE 10.2 it was setup to not boot to CD. So now I have a functioning Astaro again.
So let this be a lesson for anyone emulating an ISO, and trying to run VMWares. Check to make sure you are not booting to CD unless you really want to. This little oversight happened because when I reboot the Host, there is no Virtual CD ISO of ASG 7.004, so I don't see that as the problem. I'm just glad that the problem is solved and that I can now get back to learning all about Astaro.
Not laughing, but at least we know there was a reasonable resolution to the problem.. I strip off the CD and Floppy as VMWare options for ASG instances, I guess that's why I never saw this problem.
