The one shipped with SUSE is not really working OK. Kernel 2.6 has a
lot of possible variants and not everyone is good for your machine. We
use Gentoo and compile kernels by ourself, alhtough they are also
patched and different than the ones coming from Linus. Gentoo has
very active K8 group of developers, so just upgrading the kernel
solved all problems for us. Just after we fixed these problems I moved
for several month to GNU's birthplace, so I can't tell you what we
have in the BIOS.
