fdisk -l spits out the output and then hangs again (Uninterruptable Sleep). The last few times these happened was when I had no removable drives at all.
But you do have an EIDE CDROM drive, do you? Please check if the behaviour is different depending on if there is a disk in the drive or not.

Hi Hubert, thanks for your reply. It doesn't matter if there is a CD (mounted or not) in my Toshiba IDE CD-ROM. YAST still freezes with an un-interrupatable fdisk -l. Ramin - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
