I've been running suse on all sorts of nvidia cards, from a riva tnt 2 to a 6600, with and without the converters, and I've never seen a kernel panic from any of them. Is is possible that it's a bad card? If it works fine elsewhere, there may be issues with your motherboard/BIOS - nvidia has a blacklist of known bad hardware, and maybe you just got lucky there.

Hello,
I have a DVI-VGA converter with my GeForce FX 5200 Video Card.
When I try to boot up openSuse I get a kernel panic. I also get this kernel panic with any other linux distro. When I try to take out my GeForce card and use my Intel card everything works. And I also noticed my GeForce card is on the HCL.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it caused by the DVI-VGA converter?
