I tried that with noapic nolapic and got exactly the same result. Which piece of hardware is most likely to blame here? I am going to try swapping something out to see, but this could get expensive. :(
I am thinking that considering that Ubuntu freaked out in the same way on this machine, there is something about my hardware that is not modern-linux friendly. SuSE 9.1 was originally basically fine, just insanely buggy, taking weeks to get running properly. Then I did a reinstall, the updater installed a patched kernel, and SCSI support went out the window, which is why I am trying this. There seem to be no workarounds for the way HAL and k3d cause irretrievable crashes, and so I am left without USB support or CD burning. It must be a hardware issue, as it seems there must be some people out there happily using Mandriva 2006... right? I've been on this list only a few days and am getting the feeling that maybe that isn't the case.
