YaST(2) Aborts During the Package Installation

Support knowledgebase (packagehang)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: All versions

Symptom:

YaST1 or YaST2 aborts when installing RPM packages during the first installation. Possible error messages may vary, e.g RPM reports an error.

Cause:

The cause cannot be clearly determined because the package installation depends on several factors.

In the case of an IDE system with a certain chipset, the cause might be a wrong driver for the controller.

Solution:

Boot from the second CD, which contains the kernel for non-Pentium systems and for certain IDE chipsets. The installation should now run smoothly.

If this approach does not produce the expected results, refer to the article An error occurred during installation
