No. When I said the machine will be useless I meant it will lock up
eventually, because the sound on G5 iMac is fundamentally broken,
it's not specifically a Suse problem. The machine is only usable if
there is a way to disable sound and with these beta discs can't
disable sound before the machine locks!

What do you mean with useless, just no sound?
There will be a 2.6.16-rc4 which has a few audio fixes:
