[opensuse] Problems with the upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2.

I recently tried upgrading from OpenSuse 10.1 to 10.2. I encountered at least three problems, so instead of upgrading, I did a fresh install. The problems didn't go away.

1. Everything ran considerably slower, in part because of a lot of background disk accesses whose cause wasn't clear to me (top didn't reveal any single hog process).
2. My sound stop working.
3. When I shut down the system from the logout menu, the system stopped but didn't power down.

Problem 1 occurs whether I'm running as root or as the user.
Problems 2 and 3 occur only when I'm logged in as the user. I tried deleting the .kde directory, or rather, moving it somewhere, and logging back in, but this didn't help. I should mention that I preserved my home directory in the move from 10.1 to 10.2, because the home directory is on a separate partition mounted as /home. Both the root and /home partitions are ext3.

I've since returned to 10.1, but would still like to upgrade. I should mention that my system is a PIII 850 Mhz, with 640 Mg of memory. It runs Kubuntu 6.10 and DesktopBSD fine, though, booting them from other hard drives.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
