Yes. Got my TLA's mixed up. I'm still running 2.6.33 on my desktop - I never resolved the 2.6.34 not booting issue (more from lack of time and motivation than anything else) so I haven't had to worry about it. Besides, if I upgrade my kernel then I'll have to recompile the custom v4l2 drivers and libs that I need to support my DVB-T card and that is not something that I fancy doing.
No S....
I have the exact same problem with 2.6.34 and my radeon card in my laptop. 2.6.34 will boot exactly *once* after the initramfs is built, but starting with boot No.2 on, the laptop hardlocks on boot with 2.6.34. It works wonderfully with 2.6.33. I have a bug report open at Arch Linux on the issue. I haven't loaded suse on this laptop yet.
The hardlock during boot occurs immediately after the loading modules line (obviously it is a module issue) and with the move of more modules into the kernel, it has become a kernel issue. So when I boot 2.6.34, I get to the point where the boot message "Configuring console for UTF-8 mode" is showing and then box just freezes. (load modules is one or two lines before and since boot operates in parallel mode, whatever is locking the box lets me get one or two more lines down the boot process before freezing.
Let me know if you find anything out and I'll do the same as I get more info from the bug at flyspray...
If you've got an 11.3 install that's hard locking or showing random CPU at 100%... have you tried 2.6.35 from Kernel Head? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/ I ask because I had similar problems and they all went away with 2.6.35. I went to 2.6.35 for other reasons (it fixes a bug in the kernel that affected games in Wine/Cedega/CXGames (eg StarCraft2 and World of Warcraft)... the side effect was that 11.3 started behaving well.. no more lockups. So.. if this solves the prob, then there might be a clue in the change log between 2.6.34 and 2.6.35?
