Andreas, does the log finish in the time when the YaST got stucked?
Yes.
There are many strange errors in the log: clients/copy_files_finish.ycp:36 starting copy_files_finish ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):47 fork failed, errno: 12 (8 times) clients/switch_scr_finish.ycp:60 Re-starting SCR on /mnt Y2ProgramComponent.cc(receiveFromExternal):350 External program /usr/lib/YaST2/servers/scr died unexpectedly Y2ProgramComponent.cc(evaluate):122 Couldn't launch external server scr Y2WFMComponent.cc(SCROpen):250 SCROpen 'chroot=/mnt:scr' failed: -1 Directory.ycp:118 No SCR instance found Directory.ycp:120 Failed to set temporary directory: nil clients/ldconfig_finish.ycp:45 No SCR instance found clients/ldconfig_finish.ycp:45 ldconfig failed My guessing: /usr/src/linux/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h #define ENOMEM 12 /* Out of memory */ What kind of system (configuration) do you have? hwinfo?

256 MB RAM CPU: Intel Pentium III (Katmai) [not 64bit] RootPart.ycp:772 mounting /dev/sda2 to swap RootPart.ycp:772 mounting /var/tmp/swapfile to swap ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 swapon: cannot stat /var/tmp/swapfile: No such file or directory RootPart.ycp:786 swapon failed: /sbin/swapon /var/tmp/swapfile bootloader/routines/misc.ycp:1282 Available swap partitions: $[] Thomas, please, `swapon` failed with /var/tmp/swapfile, did it also influence the `swapon` for /dev/sda2? Was the /dev/sda2 mounted or wasn't?
As already said RootPart.ycp is not my file, it belongs to yast2-update which is maintained by Jiri. From my basic knowledge of the code I would assume that swap on /dev/sda2 was succesfully activated but /dev/sda2 is only 125M in size and apparently 256M+125M=381M is not enough memory to do a succesfull update and/or installation nowadays.
Andreas, could you, please, retest with a bigger swap somehow?
Sorry, no place for more swap.
Sorry, but postponing to 10.2. There's no time to cleanup the code and save every byte now.
Well, there were actually two problems: 1. Forking processes failed - probably due to the amount of memory, can't do anything about it 2. Failed reading of mkinitrd log (result of 1.), which was not handler properly. This one is fixed in SVN.
