    I noticed another thing with Suse 9.1. It seems if you have a jfs for
    both / and /boot there seems to be a problem on reboot. I have found
    that it marks my filesystem as read only. When I converted (reinstall)
    with reisfs, the system seems to work fine.

    I did fine that under root, KDE has frozen the system. It does seem that
    the USB devices does call instability of the system and may prevent the
    system to reboot.
