If you're doing a network install, a start  would be to create a log  
host (add the -r option to SYSLOGD_PARAMS in /etc/sysconfig/syslog  
and restart it on the server you are installing from) then add  
loghost=buildserverIP   to your linux commandline (in /tftpboot/ 
pxelinux.cfg/hostname, for example).. At the very least autoyast will  
give you a lot of incomprehensible information in /var/log/messages,  
and perhaps one or two lines that are telling you what's broken.

If you're actually at the console of this machine as well, you can  
hit alt-f2 or alt-f3 to see if any log messages are generated.
