This is a known problem of the longhaul module on the SUSE system kernel. Make SUSE can not load the longhaul module - and you're safe.

For this - boot into the single-user mode - at the lilo-prompt - add the option:

init 1

Edit the file /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf and make sure the following line is in there:

 alias longhaul off 

If you want to remove the module completely - go to the /lib/modules directory - and issue the following command:

find . -name "longhaul*"

This will tell you where the longhaul module is located. Move it to a different location outside the kernel-version tree, or delete it - then you should be done. Reboot and enjoy...
