I'm having similar symptoms.  Two NICs, one inside and one for DSL.
This worked great on 8.0.  I switched from personal firewall to 
SuSEFirewall2, and phase 2 craps out with a message saying that in
line 74 a certain PID was killed.  When it gets to phase 3, there's
another long pause, and then a message saying that interface ppp0
(that's my DSL) could not be found.  (smpppd doesn't start until 
after this, is that right?)  ppp0 normally comes up right away with
a dummy address (192.168.99.something) and only later gets a valid
address from my ISP.

Once the system is up, everything is fine, and an nmap from outside
seems to show the firewall up and running.  What should I check?
