Hi there,

I'm trying to run YaST in user-mode Linux on 9.0 installation and it
just hangs on y2base consuming ~6% of CPU whenever I try to access
Install/Remove Packages or Online Update.

This is ncurses version of yast. I tried running it both on console
(serial emulation in uml) and over ssh connection.

I can change Source of Installation and I actually tried both NFS
and a local directory (actually a manually NFS mounted directory
exported from the host). If I press Ctrl-C it just gets back
to the command prompt.

Manual installation of packages with rpm command from the same 
location (NFS mount) works fine.

I also tried attaching strace to the y2base process but it reports
no system calls (or this is not possible in uml?)

Anybody has any clues what y2base is doing and what causes it to hang?

Thanks, -Kastus
