Only one thing gets a little bit on my 'nerves': My PCI Radeon 9200 SE is not recognized by the X-Server and the ATI driver seems to be 32bit only. :-(
configure it as 9200...
(Still hoping that SuSE will provide an update when the next version of XFree with Radeon 9200 support comes out)
I also had some issues with - I think - USB (some kernel Ooopses on system startup), but after the kernel update and disconnecting the USB plug of my MS Natural Keyboard the system is running very well [for a Linux-Box ;-)] with the Logitech mouse as sole USB device.
I've one criticism though: Unfortunately the DVD does not support a menu point saying 'Re-Install original Kernel plus bootloader'. I really would have needed this at one point, because I completely blew my grub config. (2.6.1-rc3 was not booting and somehow I had 'destroyed' the 2.4 backup) I was badly surprised when I found out that the manual repair dialog did not feature a 'Re-Install kernel plus bootloader' option and the automatic repair did not work. Another note: I had to choose manual installation, as the automatic one leads to Ooops(?).
Try "idle=poll" added to the automatic installation command line. There're buggy biosses out there...
If I had to give SuSE 9.0 AMD64 a mark (1..5 - 'excellent'...'forget it') I would probably give it a 3. (Mostly works, but nowhere as unproblematic as it should be.) However, I have to say that I'm deeply impressed by the support in this list!!
So I guess that gives a 2 at last. :-)
