>but after doing a system upgrade the OS could not longer boot up
I would bet that there was a kernel or uboot upgrade
The kernel and/or uboot is probably patched, to work on pbp
An update probably would not be patched,,, rpm has no convenient way to "pin" a version
There is yum-versionlock (a rpm), don't know if in suse
So, you would have to manually check and disallow kernel/uboot upgrades
--edit-- much later
So, i thought I should give it a try, real slow on 4 cores, and slow boot bug with 6
It did give me some grief re nameserver, that took a while to sort out
Really pretty tho, but I notice no updates, some months (8?) later
Oh, and it did lock on sleep
