[size=2]after migrating from openSUSE-11.1 to openSUSE-11.2
together with a few further online updates
including a kernel upgrade to 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop,
my system started freezing a couple of times for two days.
I made up my mind googling for “linux freeze”,
found a hint saying, that 2.6.31.8 causes trouble,
fell back to 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop,
and voila: the problem is gone.
What a relief!
I hope, the following describes my system well enough
and that my posting helps others in similar situations.
Regards,
J.
