There is an patch described in the Suse sdb for a quite similar problem with nvidia cards, which did work fo me. If I remember correctly use the keyword 'black console' or similar. You can check if this patch would work for you by disabling AGP completely. If the problem goes away then get the patch and you can re-enable AGP.

Software SuSE 7.2 Dutch Profesional SuSE 7.3 US Personal (test)
Installation problem with 7.2 & 7.3 Installation crashes after the first reboot, when testing the X-server. This happens when installing in graphical and text mode.
Detailed problem with 7.2 After installing X with an Diamond 3dfx Voodoo Banshee AGP card. Activating X with fbdev, nv or nvidia (1541, 2313) is fine (gears shows 190, 330, 5000 and 4000 fps) but shutting down X crashes the system. The standaard KDE logoff sound (boing) keeps on repeating. The only option is a power off.
Updated SAX2, Hwinfo, pam_devperm and added all users to the 'video' group.
Sax2 cannot be started. It always crashes when going to X. Used -m 0=fbdev or nv or nvidia but no go.
Both the 1541 and the 2313 Nvidia SuSE 7.2 drivers have the same error. Compiled kernel 2.4.4-4Gb and 2.4.4; same behaviour. Compiled nvidia from tar. Same behaviour.
Removed Mesa. Same behaviour. Removed riva. Same behaviour.
AGP 2x in Bios, same behaviour. Disabled fast writs in the bios. Same behaviour.
Added 'mem=nopentium', same behaviuor.
3ddaigs runs fine glxinfo runs fine
Any thoughs? Regards, Armand
