As I mentioned in an earlier post, after I upgraded my HD to SCSI,
everything works except for YaST.  It freezes up at the first screen,
and requires a hardware reboot to recover.

Does anyone at SuSE read this list?  As this a SuSE-only program, they
may be the only people who can help me out.

I attempted to run strace and gdb on the binary to see what I could
find, but they crash along with YaST.  I was able to see the point in
strace where execution locks ups if I set strace to output to CRT.  And
by running strace on a good system, I was able to find all of the files
that YaST reads.  The only Yast-installed file that I could see that
pertained to the HD was /var/lib/YaST/install.conf.  I tried various
combinations of either deleting it or adding it with parameters for the
new drive, but nothing worked.  There is an option for Yast that deletes
that file and starts anew, but it didn't work.

What I may do next is try to compile the source with debugging code and
see if I can get gdb to work.  Any ideas?

Thanks,   Rob.
