This doesn't solve your immediate problem but here's something everyone should know - - - the 'magic key sequence'.
magic sysrq won't work however unless /proc/sys/kernel/sysreq contains a value other than 0. On SuSE, either use the yast/yast2 /etc/sysconfig editor or directly edit /etc/sysconfig/sysctl so that ENABLE_SYSRQ is set to "yes".
Or place the following in your /etc/init.d/boot.local
# Set some escape clauses # alt+<sysreq>+u Remount (U) ro all file systems # alt+<sysreq>+s Sync # alt+<sysreq>+b Reboot (Do all three!) echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
Oops: wrong sequence (IMHO). To sync, the filesystem has to be mounted. Sync first, than umount: S-U-B. If you do that from a text-console (e.g. <Ctrl>+<Alt>-<F2>), you will get some info (beeps &/or a msg).
