I've done 4 FRESH installs because the update kernel HANGS during bootup on the file log for /dev/sda1!!! No matter what file system is used, it FAILS! SUSE needs to be MUCH more carefull!
I've had problems with the new kernel shutting down -- it locks up the machine while killing processes before umounting the filesystems. :-(
I've reverted back to the previous 2.6.4-54.5 which works fine. I've also tried the Mantel kernel. Same problem. Athlon XP 2400 on a Gigabyte VIA 686 based motherboard, 1GB RAM, modern Seagate 120GB drive....

I'm going to guess that SUSE will fix it. It's a security fix, but I don't know what was "broken" in the kernel. Whatever, I'm not going to try a kernel update again till I know they've made sure I won't have to reinstall - again! '4 times today - failed every time. The 5th, I updated all but the kernel.
