Whenever I start yast (Suse 5.2), the computer starts to load the program and then the window freezes. Then I get the following processes (among others):
3168 p2 S 0:00 yast 3173 p2 S 0:00 /bin/sh -c fdisk -l >/tmp/stp3168_1_S 2>/tmp/stp3168_1_E 3174 p2 D 0:00 fdisk -l
I can kill the first two. But the last one won't die! How can I kill the fdisk process (or anything else with status "D" for that matter)?
Unfortunately, not at all ;-(
I had heard of similar problems with fdisk when a removable disk was mounted or inserted. But the freeze in my case occures even without any removables. Is there a fix to this bug?
I think not. fdisk just hangs on some EIDE CD-ROM drives. Try if the behaviour changes when there is a disk in the drive. The only "workaround" is to let YaST only call "fdisk" when it is really needed (I'm not quite sure whether Thomas already changed this).
