  Workarounds:
  • Update the system BIOS if available to fix the BIOS bug
  • Update the kernel image to the latest version for openSuse10.3 x86_64, which works around the BIOS bug in the kernel
  • Disable powersaved service when booting up if the BIOS or kernel is not updated
  • After installing AMD Proprietary Linux Graphics Driver, run “aticonfig –acpi-services=off” to disable some ACPI services in the driver.
