Hi there, I think it's your bios that is just freaking here ;). Try to following. 1 : Update your bios, this fixes (most times) these weird issues. 2 : Reset your bios to factory defaults (works like a wonder here most of the times) 3 : Have you tried latest suse? And then tested if that hangs too? Because maybe you just have a bug issue here. And it would be nice to find out what that is!
