This is almost certainly a problem with the 8.1 kernel then -- install k_deflt-2.4.19-174.i586.rpm from the SuSE updates like several others suggested if you have not already.
That has to be an explicit download and rpm invokation? Or can that be done as part of a YOU update? Those who have installed the new kernel... did it go in smoothly? Or did you have to track down a hundred dependencies? Anyway, it begins to sound like something to try. Is there a possible downside? I mean, given that I'm crashing at least every second day, a new kernel would be only an improvement, right? :-) And it *is* SuSE tested... oh... wait... that's what they said about the current kernel... ;-> Thank you all. I'll come back with my results. It would be nice to post a "SOLVED" in front of this one. /kevin
