I am trying to install SuSE 9.2 on a machine with two brand new Maxtor 150GB hard drives. I've tried both as Linux RAID, and each drive by itself. The install is fine, but every time the machine boots, it slows down during 'Replaying journal' and 'Checking internal tree'. Really slow. Takes the machine 5 minutes to boot up and every time, not just initial boot. The install finishes and reboots slow, then I just do shutdown and restart, same thing. I've tried different motherboards and cables to make sure the ATA133 is working for these drives. I loaded Windows XP and all is fine, good boot time. The machine is a Pentium 4 3.2MHz (Northwood core, 512K cache) with 800MHz FSB, 512MB RAM.
Is there something I should know or be able to debug further this problem booting in SuSE?

I have the same problem on an old P3 with 20Gb disk and have not solved it. I will be very interested if anybody has a solution. This machine previously ran 9.1 without this problem.
