https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=398790 Summary: YaST not working with high pid counter Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: 64bit OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bj@sernet.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- yast does not start with a high PID counter. You need to have a 64bit system and pid_max set to a high value like 2000000. My counter was at 1300000 and yast did not start.
