Mark,
I am convinced that the 2.6.34 kernel has so very large bugs in it regarding onboard module handling (or whatever the heck you call the modules that used to be external loadable module that are now black-magic in the kernel) I have an x86_64 laptop that hardlocks on boot with 2.6.34, but runs every kernel prior to that without any problems. Please search bugzilla.novell for 11.3 optical disk read error (or any 2.6.34 module load error) and if you don't find anything related open a new report.
Yes, I know that it could possibly be nothing more than drive differences with one being more tolerant of disk problems than the other, but my experience from multiple Linux distros with kernel 2.6.34-X is that there is a huge bug there that affects several classes that the kernel folks are struggling to get their heads around.
Just to put the other side of the story, I've not noticed any problems here with 11.3 running the 2.6.34 kernel on either my desktop (details in my sig) or my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop.
