    I've opened a case at ASUS, those of you experiencing these
    problems can request that number directly. I don't want it
    to be a broadcast on the list.

    ASUS is interested as they advertise SUSE LINUX
    compatibility. They are testing the problem now trying to
    confirm. They should have a little more 'juice' with
    SUSE/Novell.

    Still, outside of the update problem, the problem of have
    to install using the Safe Settings is an issue as well.
     Given ide=nodma and acpi=off, performance and features are
    being negated.
