[hcflinux] Computer freezes with hcf drivers

[Marc Boucher]

If I understand correctly you are running suse 7.1 with a 2.2.18 kernel,
which we do not officially support. Did you try their latest 2.4 kernel?
(available from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/kernel/2.4.16
or a faster mirror like ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/7.1_update/kernel)
