YaST2: Hangs after the installation of packages

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.3
YAST2

Symptom:

You attempt to install SuSE Linux 6.3 using YaST2, and select to install LILO to the /boot partition. After the package installation process completes, the installation halts and the system does not respond.

Cause:

There is a bug in YaST2 that leads to a "loop" when installing LILO to the /boot partition.

Solution:

Power off the computer, restart the installation, and choose to install LILO to a floppy boot disk, not the /boot partition. Complete the installation normally. Afterwards, you may use the older, original YaST administration tool to install LILO to the /boot partition. For further information, please see the chapter on YaST in the included Handbook.
