is anyone out there who has successfully installed and run SuSE 9.3 on a FSC V810 Celsius Opteron 250, 2 CPU with 8 GM Memory and Bios 1.07?

We think of updating from SuSE 9.0, Kernel 2.4.21-280, so my questions are:

- Is the Kernel Panic issue which we experienced with SuSE 9.2 (and was also reported on this list) resolved in 9.3?

- are Nvidia FX 4000 graphics cards running in accel mode on X.org 6.x?

- any other known issues?

I could install it on my v810 test machine with bios 1.05. However, booting the newly installed system sometimes crashes the kernel.
