Hi! My SUSE 10.0 won't work properly when I do a reboot. USB keyboard and mouse won't work, My PCMCIA network adapter lights up but won't do much else... When I reboot from WinXP to SUSE or WinXP, everything works. Rebooting from SUSE to XP or SUSE doesn't work.

One question, does your mouse and or keyboard work on the login screen? You can always go to one of the virtual terminals.
USB keyboard (and mouse) works in Grub menu, but stops working after that. I have a KVM which have worked perfectly under WinXP, Win2k3, Win2k, Suse 9.3 Pro and Suse 10.0 (except during reboot from 10.0).
---------------------------------------------------------------- Initially, my desktop system (came with USB KB+Mouse) used a KVM so I could share it with the ancient Deskpro. When excised the KVM, SuSE actually recognized it, bit not Windows. I use XP only to install mandatory updates and to install an update to my Treo650 that was Windows only.
I suggest that you run YaST/Hardware/Graphics Card and Monitor, open Input devices, change configuration and finalize on both your keyboard and mouse. Or, from the Hardware tab, go directly to Mouse or keyboard layout. The reason to do this is to check and reset the settings. ----------------------------------------------------------------- If your keyboard and mouse work in a virtual terminal (assuming GPM is enabled) and not in KDE or GNOME, then the YaST "Graphics Card and Monitor" (which is SaX2) might fix the problem.
If the Keyboard and Mouse are simply dead on the reboot, then there might be a problem either with the drivers or with the mother board.
One question, when you do a reboot, are you doing a soft reboot - shutdown -r (or the reboot button). What happens if you power off and power on in
the:
SUSE -> SUSE = failure SUSE -> XP = failure
If I power off (interrupt the reboot), then everything works perfectly! With Suse 9.3 Pro I didn't have this problem. Although I think that Suse 10.0 doesn't reboot as "heavily" as WinXP or Suse 9.3 does. With "heavily" I mean that rebooting from XP, the machine really halts for a second (enough to trigger the power saving on my monitor). Rebooting from 10.0 it kind of skips the "halt" and goes to Grub much quicker than when rebooting from XP (or Suse 9.3). -- Just because you are a character, doesn't mean you have character... http://www.fmbv.nu
