Hi NG,

for a couple of days, my Suse Linux 8.1 (2.4.19) on a HP Omnibook XE3 Laptop 
shows a strange behaviour: it hangs after a reboot (shutdown -r now od from 
KDE). First it starts as usual, but freezes after "switching to runlevel 
5", when initializing the random number generator and the network.
I pasted the output of a good and a bad boot.msg below.

My last actions, before I noticed it doesn't reboot anymore, were:
- use the cellphone to access internet
- create a new user because of OpenOffice store failure
- clear tmp directory in single user mode (because of OpenOffice store 
failure - was this stupid?)
- new (workstation) installation of OpenOffice

Nayone around who can give me a clou where to look next?
