YaST gets started repeatedly

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions since 5.0

Symptom:

During the startup of the machine the installation routines report, that the installation isn't completed yet and calls YaST. YaST then says, that all necessary work was completed and exits.

Cause:

There might either really be some remaining setup scripts that must be executed in order to finish the installation, or a lock file wasn't removed.

Solution:

In the first case let the machine do its job so all necessary scripts get executed. On slow machines this may even take several hours. You can check on console 9 whether the scripts are still running (switch to console 9 with Alt-F9).

If the phenomenon doesn't disappear, please remove the file .configured2 manually :

rm /usr/lib/YaST/.configured2
/lib/YaST/bootsetup is responsible for this file.
