My wild guess is the kernel parameters in grub. Maybe you need "apic" or

Hi Carlos, thanks for replying.

Possibly a good wild guess. Unfortunately my backup is on the usb hard
drive.

Arg. :-(

Mine too.

Well Carlos, thanks so much for your analysis and trying to help. I really
appreciate it and is filed away for future use.

The fix was simple, and I feel so stupid. I checked the BIOS again, more
carefully this time. The usb controller and the ac97 sound chip were both
disabled. Turned them on again, reconfigured, and all is well. I didn't think
that SuSE touched the bios. Evidently I was wrong.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

Thanks again for helping

Bob S
