I had a very similar problem after an openSUSE upgrade on an Acer 1501LCe laptop. At first I could not boot from the DVD, but a CD would and compiling kernels had to be done in "powersave -l". It progressively got worse and I was about to throw it out. I decided to open it up a second time and have another look. The outlet next to the CPU was blocked by an accumulation of dust which I mistook for a foam filter the first time around. It also seemed to be after a kernel upgrade - debated as such on the openSUSE factory list. I'm glad I did as it's fully back to health. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
