This doesn't solve your immediate problem but here's something everyone

magic sysrq won't work however unless /proc/sys/kernel/sysreq contains a
value other than 0. On SuSE, either use the yast/yast2 /etc/sysconfig
editor or directly edit /etc/sysconfig/sysctl so that ENABLE_SYSRQ is
set to "yes".

Or place the following in your /etc/init.d/boot.local

# Set some escape clauses
# alt+<sysreq>+u Remount (U) ro all file systems
# alt+<sysreq>+s Sync
# alt+<sysreq>+b Reboot (Do all three!)
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
