What exactly do you mean with latest kernel? Did you update - as auxsvr mentioned - to openSUSE 11.0
no
or did you install the latest 10.3 security update to 2.6.22.18-0.2?
Yes, using OpenSuse updater.
I assume you mean the 10.3 update to 2.6.22.
The behaviour of my labtop reminds me of the terrible times when I had to suffer from Win98, although at the moment I wished I had such a great and stable stystem like Win98 compared to that junk now "running" here.
I cannot shutdown, logging out as a user takes ages, after logging out /home partition is still in use, now seamonkey blocked and I cannot kill the process, not even as root.
This could indicate hardware problems. Please run dmesg and see whether you see anything strange there.
I attach dmesg output.
If you really suspect the kernel, please install the previous kernel (you can get it from the update repositories) and see whether it helps.
I am a bit afraid of this, because the update also installed some new modules. I guess with my knowledge I might even worsen the problems.
And if it does, I suggest to open a bugreport against 10.3 in our bugzilla following the suggestions on bugs.opensuse.org for kernel reports.
I opened a report here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=403134 Of course it can be that there is another problem causing all that, then it just fell together with the kernel update. Before the laptop worked absolutely perfect. Well, besides of the problems with KNetworkManager...
Btw. if you like to get a polemic answer, you can start with polemic rhetoric
you are right, of course. It's just that I am abroad and a working computer is essential for me. And I just lost the chance to convince an Internet-Café to change from win to Linux and - and - and... So my nerves are somehow stressed.
- but if you like to have real help, I suggest to do it with less polemic ;)

Ok, I'll try ;-) I am now going to try a reiserfs check, in the hope that I will not completely ruin my system...
