Hello List
i note that on my system, yast's bootloader takes a very long time
"Reading Partitions".
Then, after closing yast, if one tries again to adjust bootloader a
second time, then
"Reading Partitions" gets to 30% and then sticks at 30%.

Shot in the dark - try disabling floppy controller in BIOS.

It's a known bug. For me it took 30mins.... disabling floppy in BIOS fixes it.

never seen a floppy configured when there is none (and
when there
where nver one)
Lots of inept motherboard BIOS exist that on reset (e.g. battery gone dead)
enable floppy regardless whether one is present.
I beg nobody tested this before release :-)

The vmplayer "firmware" has this problem. When you create a virtual
machine, you get a floppy. You remove it from the list of hardware
devices, but if you enter the bios setup, there is the floppy defined.
It is usually on the first page.
Ha!

It's a pretty common default setting in a new BIOS, so if you upgrade
the BIOS, you'll end up with a floppy drive configured, regardless of
whether one is present or not.
