It seems >=2.6.19 and the SuSEfirewall are incompatible.

Actually, many programs could be incomapatible with
newer kernel versions, so sometimes upgrades or at
least recompilations are needed.

There is still the problem where the ethernet doesn't get configured 
with acpi=off which I shall post to the acpi devel list, but this is not 
a showstopper for me. ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.5 returns SIOCSIFFLAGS: 

I don't know acpi enough but as far as I know
some mainboards can't work properly with acpi
off, so it's probably not a bug.
