I suggest you contact SuSE and determine of they are shipping a stock
kernel or a modified one. If it is the later and not the former, you need
to take issue with SuSE first. Otherwise be very explicit on the nature
of what you are calling "drive corruption", this is an extremely sore
subject for many............
Spell out hardware (model, name, bios, firmware).
What did you do to cause this "corruption", or did it happen on its own.
