Hello, In case you or anyone else on this list are not hooked into the SUSE bug report that I reported on the kernel crash, they have now come up with a patch that reportedly fixes the problem.
Please see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208782 or download the patched kernel directly from: http://beta.suse.com/private/hare/testing/bug208782 I would appreciate feedback from anyone trying this kernel. I am currently running my tests against it ...
