Thank you for pointing my attention to the libata problem. Indeed when I start 
the Live CD with 'hwprobe=-modules.pata' no system freeze will occur. 
Apparently this boot parameter has no effect on an already installed system. 
So if anybody knows how to disable libata without to reinstall, please tell 
me. I don't want to reinstall openSUSE 10.3 because the last time I went 
through the installation procedure one of my partitions was cleared from all 
data...

I also added my report to Novell's Bugzilla where someone had already 
described the same problem:
