SUSE 10.0 locks up after installation 
The SUSE 10.0 (64bit) installation has completed successfully. The updates has 
completed on line successfully and nvidia drivers has loaded. System has 
started and after couple minutes “locks up”. The system becomes unresponsive 
to keyboard input or mouse. I cannot kill this section and cannot re-start. 
Restart by unplug the power cable (I know it is bad) not boot at all. My PC 
configuration:
AMD Athlon 64 3500/ 2GB RAM/ nVidia GeForce 6600/

This is a problem with the nvidia-driver itself... as written in the release-notes  (execute susehelp to read them), some cards of the 6000-series will lock up with activated 3d-acceleration. So you have to disable the acceleration and try it again.
To do so, boot into textmode (at boot press F5 for more options and enter the digit 3 for runlevel 3) there, this will boot you into textmode. Login as root and execute sax2 to disable the 3d-support... to do this, use the module ``nv'' instead of ``nvidia''.

As this is a problem with a closed source (3d-party) package, we cannot do anything here. You will have to wait for nvidia to solve these problems (what will likely be done quite soon), update the driver and push your luck again. Sorry.

I'm correcting myself, the driver modules itself are not closed source, but we cannot support them nontheless.
