I have a nx6125 running SuSE 10.0 Prof at the moment (Started with 9.3) I have had very good experience with it under SuSE 10.0, Wow! Ok, I may have a chance... Which model do you have? Mine is the PY416EA - I wonder if there are differences between the different models?
(known BIOS issue) and the modem does not work (Stupid ATI modem). SUSE 10.0 picks mine up, but I haven't tried to use it. I haven't had much luck with it under Gentoo (honestly didn't have a lot of time to try), so I bought a Duxbury PCMCIA card - normal hardware modem on a genuine serial port - great!
I did have this problem, but it happened not only when copying large amounts of data. If you have a look at your log files you shoudl see that the powersaved system (IIRC) triggers the shutdown because it thinks the system is overheating. The default trip levels used are incorrect. You need to tell it to use thermal trip levels from your profiles.
In /etc/sysconfig/powersave/thermal, set ENABLE_THERMAL_MANAGEMENT="kernel" Thanks, I'll give this a try and report back.
3. Wired (broadcom gigabit, tg3) network doesn't work at all.
I have had no problems. Works perfectly on my machine. It works, but it seems very tempramental. Today I was at a client who's running a DHCP server on SLES9, and my notebook wouldn't pick up an address. At home I have a netgear WGT624, and it picks up DHCP quite easily, but then again at work (IP-COP box) it doesn't. If I give it a static IP it works quite well though.
4. Sound: It works lovely in general, very sweet sounding card, but it seems like sound mixing is tempramental. I don't know if the card
I have had no sound problems. Playing music and DVD's without any problems. Sound system even handles multiple sound streams simultaneously, if the two applications usiing the sound system allow it. Mine works too, it's just from time to time something seems to lock the device, and skype's incoming sound just won't work reliably.
Some applications seems to lock the sound system and do not allow other apps to use the sound system while it is using it. I think Rhythmbox is like that. So your problem might be due to applications/soundsystem used and not hardware. That's what it looks like, but why? It didn't happen on my old Compaq, it doesn't happen on my desktop. So it must be a driver issue of sorts.
Thanks for your response Hans
