As all other OSses this machine ran so far (from Slackware 11 over debian 5, debian 6 and a queue of ubuntu flavors) none ever yielded such an error my prime suspect is the SuSE kernel.
The problem may be with the kernel; however, we won't really know until you provide the output of 'uname -r' for all the various distros that work OK, and for the one that does not. I have enough trouble keeping track of the kernel versions used in the openSUSE releases - I certainly do not know what Debian, Ubuntu, or Slackware use.
One thing you could try is to boot one of the openSUSE 12.2 Beta 2 Live CDs to see if the problem was fixed between kernel 3.1 (as likely found in your 12.1), and the 3.4 kernel used in 12.2.

Right now SuSE runs 3.1.10-1.13-desktop, ran 3.1.0 when the installation was fresh (and threw this error then, too.) The last kernel I used on ubuntu was linux-image-3.2.0-25-generic, before that I ran a series of 2.6 kernels and fewer 3.0 kernels. Theses dists don't reside on disk anymore, so I can't tell in more detail, but one thing is worth mentioning: this is the first time ever I run the 3.1 kernel series. All other dists ran 3.0 or older *or* at least 3.2. So we're looking for something that happens every 50 seconds in the 3.1 SuSE desktop kernel series.
