The bootloader module never starts & the partition one does but never gets to the partition part (gets stuck at initializing). So how am I seposed to save grub to floppy (make a bootdisk) or look at my partitions from within YaST?
Edward78,
Have you tried running the text version ‘yast’ from within a terminal?
You could also try running ‘yast2’ from within a terminal. This will start
the GUI one, but you can see any errors logged to the terminal screen.

You can obtain a display of your partitions from a console/konsole with fdisk:
this shows ALL partitions on ALL drives
fdisk -l
just for drive sda
fdisk -l /dev/sda
need to be root, of course.
Niclas’ reply about starting yast2 from a konsole is good, remember you need
to be root to do this.
-open a konsole
-Become root (supply password when asked)
su - root
-start yast gui
yast2
then you can watch the output on the konsole to see if any errors or problems
are reported.
