SuSE offers 3 months installation support for which I do not apply any
more. And I do not face an installation problem, because the system was
up and perfectly running for 6 months. The fact is that now I cannot
normally boot linux with the old bios 1.10 either. So I will stick to the
update unless someone from IBM support convinces me in the opposite. But
again the machine was windows preinstalled so I cannot force IBM support
in this case, since windows is up and running.

The question of interest to me is what does actually single user mode not
do compared to what is done at boot time with a normal system boot?

As mentioned earlier the system has no problems starting and even running
kde2 (by manually starting services) from single user mode. For now I do
not see any resource conflicts either. Also the configuration utility
tpctl is fully operational in single boot mode as well as YAST.  May be I
could use these somehow?

Regards,
Boyan.
