I can boot all runlevels, but theres no X installed. Maybe "hangup" is the
wrong word (English is not my mother language). The system stands completely
still, the text-curser doesn't blink anymore, even num-lock isn't working.
Some actions in YaST cause that, i even could not install with graphics mode,
the install of 10.1 failed every time (i think because of the zen-daemon).

I ran the memory test about 20 hours, no error. But I will test replacing each
of the modules.
Thanks so far
