I haven't checked for a bios update yet but my hope for this is limited....
but i got zenwalk live CD 4.6 booted on my system, i just set "acpi=off" in
the boot loader commandline and it booted up just fine. It features kenel
2.6.21 so i'm in hope that suse 10.3 with a new kernel and "acpi=off" will
boot just fine, unless i'll report a bug for sure (haven't done thisd for
10.2 yet - don't think it's still necessary either). Which kernel is used in
the opensuse 10.3 beta3 which will be released this week?
Thanks for help, especially to Lee ("BandiPat") who actually recommended me to
get the Zenwalk LiveCD. :) Worked out fine, thanks but still would like to
get Suse on my disk :)
