I had some problems too, Turns out that the latest kernel update fixes alot of acpi issues, I had been running all my kernels with acpi=off. I removed this from the bootloader kernel line and was in business again.
Alternatively if your not running with acpi=off perhaps it's time to add it.
Let me know if this help.
Kind regards

Dear all
we have trouble on four of our opteron systems because of the latest kernel 2.6.5-7.75-smp.
We also had problems after doing an online update. Boot hangs; last console message before hang was something like 'running boot.local'. I was not able to determine what exactly was wrong. -K -- Check the List-Unsubscribe header to unsubscribe For additional commands, email: suse-amd64-help@suse.com
