/boot/grub/menu.lst
Just hard code the parms you want. You should always leave a safe mode option in there incase you fat-finger the keyboard or something.
You can also replicate any menu option that works, title it as you please, modify it to suit. thereby leave the original suse generated one alone.
When you have one that works, just put it in the first position.
Here goes the summa summarum of the "frequent hard locks on a hp laptop" for my part.. First, following the advice of Carlos, I turned off the hw graphics acceleration in OpenOffice and it seemed that there were fewer hard locks.. although they did not completely disappear. Then I started using the following parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst that David recommended: nohpet nolapic noapic apic=verbose acpi_use_time_override Since then I have not experienced a single hard lock. I have even started using KPowersave again. Everything works smoothly. Hooray! .. but I am sure, that, according to Murphy, after writing this message I will get a hard lock again. ;) Thanks to everyone.
