I recently installed SuSE Pro 9.2 as a second OS, dual booting with Windows XP, on an IBM ThinkCentre A50. Since then, I've experienced several hangs either while or just after leaving YaST (under KDE). My session stops responding to all keyboard and mouse input, although the mouse cursor moves freely. I can log in via ssh from a neighbor box, but response is deadly slow. Likewise, I can switch consoles but it takes several minutes for the text console to appear and up to 5 minutes for a login to complete. I've tried entering "shutdown -r now" from a text console and in the aforementioned ssh session, but while the initial notification message appears, the system does not shut down (waiting up to 15 minutes). Each time this has happened I've ended up hitting the switch. I'm about to bag SuSE as a bad bet and put the space to other good use, unless I can find a way to fix this. Cheers, Gordon Keehn
