Hi again,
well I didn’t install gnome because of time, but I found a curious behavior: when I delete all files in /temp and all text file in /var/log the system boot fast, it took less than 1 minute to show the kde desktop.
On the other hand, I installed Opensuse 11.2 back in December and the system was performing well until this months, so I believe this issue come after an update, but I’m not sure.
About the other posts, I think my hd is good, no click sound, vista is running ok. However I will verify with the bios tools to check all the disk.
Here are some lines starting with <4> in boot.msg after deleting those files.
