Hello Anders from Lourens:

Thanks, I have reinstalled from scratch, see below.

"

I noticed that the last messages from 'make install' appeared to be from
lilo adding Linux/SuSE/etc
so I did not run it again. It also copies System.map to /boot.

I have just done a complete rebuild, etc, after running diags on the h/w.
I also set the BIOS to LBA (not auto), used only ext2 (used reiserfs on
all but /boot before), did not do 'make modules' / 'make modules_install'.

Here are the error messages that I can see, these are unfortunately not
the first messages, difficult to see as the fly past and are not logged in
/var/log/messages:

Segmentation fault
Bad swap file entry 080c6118
and more of the same

then

swap_free : Trying to free nonexistent swap-page

then 

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer deference at virtual address 00000000
  printing eip:
c012b826
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0002
CPU: 0
EIP: 0010:[<c012b826>]
EFLAGS: 00010282
then displays registers ...

Baffled.
Booting the Previous 686 kernel or the SuSE kernel still works fine.

Bye
