SuSE 9.1 to get all the updates, there's a couple of them daily - they
solved almost all the issues :))

From: "Frederic Soulier"
SuSE team and I find NO explanation, whatsoever, for leaving the kernel without XFS support)
I had LOTS of other problems, (no XFS support, slab.c kernel panic, grub not installable, hunging at start, hunging at installation finish)
I am pretty upset and I feel like I have been let down by the SuSE team, I wasn't expecting such a mess from a German company
I CAN'T believe that nobody used XFS in the whole BETA team - it seems unbelievable!!!!
Same pbm here. Installed 9.1 with ReiserFS then when I tried to mount my /home (XFS) from my Mandrake 9.2 installation I got a seg fault. Had to reboot to MDK 9.2, transfer the data I needed to a temporary "compatible" space then reboot into 9.1...
I bought 9.1 pro for the supposed quality (being a long time Mandrake user, I know what a lack of QA can sometimes produce) but I must say I'm slightly disappointed. Except for the awesome YAST2 and the 9.1 pro packaging the rest of the distro is like Mandrake or not as good.
I also think that kernel 2.6.x is not as good (stable?) as kernel 2.24.20+ is. With both Suse 9.1 and MDK 10.0 my box has been unstable with sudden reboots. I don't get that (or a lot less) with MDK 9.2
