Edit Reason: Normalize "[SOLVED]" tag.

I can boot with any openSUSE distro. However, when boot system need that user locate "source" installation (ISO content) Ventoy only shows cd: hd: network: as sources. Even if I try to verify checksum, is not possible, cause again not source is not available.
You can check it booting openSUSE and select "More" and then "Verify source".

Steps:
- Create Ventoy USB disk
- Copy to "Ventoy" folder any openSUSE ISO (LEAP, Tumbleweed or Gecko derivatives)
- Boot Ventoy USB and select copied openSUSE ISO
- In openSUSE menu, select "more ..." then "Check installation media" and after a while, it will ask for device to check (usually it should not ask, but simply check or to show "sr0: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-i586-Snapshot20210729-Media.iso") media where it was booted.
If you leave it empty, you'll get an error "Invalid device name". Then click "Ok" and it will be show you a window with "Please, make sure your installation medium is available. Choose the URL to retry"
and next options:
"cd:/
hd:/
http:/download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss
Enter another URL"
In that window user CAN'T select USB booted from to check media (it should at least show plugged USB devices, in fact, I had two USB devices plugged).
And that's all. This is the simplest way to get the issue, but this trouble is worse when trying to install, cause after configuring all forms to install, openSUSE is not able (like I wrote in previous sentence) to locate media where source files are.

i didn't find any error as you mentioned, i use ventoy 1.0.47 and 1.0.48 boot openSUSE-MicroOS-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso and also select more, then "Check installation media", all works well.Maybe there is a problem with your USB Or wait for ventoy 1.0.50 to fix the device check error
