I have a laptop (a Dell Inspiron 1000) with apparent IRQ conflicts, but I obviously can't move cards around -- and on this particular machine, the brain-damaged BIOS has no facilities for tinkering with IRQs. The symptom is peculiar: KDE hangs on bootup if my network wireless card is inserted and runs fine if it isn't. But if I insert the card once KDE has started, both KDE and networking are happy.

Am I correct in assuming, from what you say here, that the system will boot successfully to runlevel 3? If so, then I do not think this is a serious hardware conflict, if indeed it is a conflict at all. Rather, something somewhere in KDE is the problem. What that might be, I cannot say, but the SuSEplugger, if running, might be something to look at.
Yes, the system boots to runlevel 3 fine. I agree that the problem is probably KDE-related. As to suseplugger, I can't locate any docs on it, though I found the executable easily enough. I've seen it referred to many times -- but what does it do? Paul
