Maybe I'll give that list a shot. The filesystem I used was Reiser. I should have the latest BIOS,
I think, because the board is practically new in terms of manufacturing. Although I guess there
could always be a problem with it.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

My install went very smoothly, and my learning curve on the 64 bit has 
been a good experience.  I haven't seen the problems of which you 
speak.  What file system did you use?  I chose ext3.  Been using ext3 
since 7.3 IIRC with no problems.  FWIW, most problems I have seen /read 
about were usually BIOS problems.  Do you have the latest BIOS for the 
MB?  There is an amd64 list (suse-amd64@xxxxxxxx) that has some very 
knowledgeable people.  If you gave more info you might get some good 
help there.  HTH
