There was a confirmed bug in the SUSE 9.2 kernels.
No actually there was a hardware bug on some motherboards by a particular big Taiwanese vendor starting with A (they had incorrect NIC eeprom checksums) We later added a workaround for that to ignore the wrong checksum. But the Linux code was correct.
See the January thread. If you didn't have any problems, you were lucky. I had.
You should have complained to your motherboard vendor.
BTW has this problem been solved in the latest 9.2 update kernels? Andi?
Yes, the patch made it into the update kernel. -Andi
