I am not yet very skilled with troubleshooting, but here are some questions 
what may help us to tinker with this: 
1. There were more than one version of Suse in Novell's Resource Kit. What 
version you installed? 
2. Were there any problems during installation?
3. Have you tried to run Yast2/YOU from the commanline (it may give you some 
error-messages why they crash)? 

Blessings,
