I went out of my way to have hardware that plays well with previous releases of SuSE. Here is a listing:
1. M/B: ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe (nForce2 based). 2. CPU: Athlon XP 3200. 3. RAM: 2x512 MB Corsiar XMS. (Tried Kingston Value RAM, but ran into problems with M/B insisting on too aggressive timings even after manually setting which destabilized the system.) 3. Video: GForce 6800 GT. 4. Sound: Primary - SB Live!, Secondary - SB 128, Unused - Onboard sound (broken, which seems to be common with this board). 5. Network: Primary - Onboard 10/100, Not used - Onboard Gigabit (SuSE 9.2 was fine with this one, but SuSE 9.3 couldn't handle it.) 6. TV Tuner - Hauppauge WinTV GO (SuSE 9.2 was fine with it, but SuSE 9.3 couldn't handle this one either.)
I got SuSE 9.1 and SuSE 9.2 to run stable on this system and I even got windows XP to run as stable as I have ever seen windows run (which is not saying all that much).
Do you see anything readily wrong with this setup?
Looks unsuspicious to me. I don't know about your window manager issues (that could be anything - including misconfiguration). But the fact that two of the devices that worked fine with 9.2 (also kernel 2.6 based) are now not working anymore indicates that this could be a resource problem. Have you tried the "failsafe" settings from the boot menu? If this didn't help, have you try the various ACPI parameters as described in http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2002/10/81_acpi.html Greetings from Stuhr hartmut
