I don't know if this is what is haunting you, but several users, myself included, are having tremendous problems with the combination of Athlon/Duron (and maybe due to VIA-chipsets, not really clear on that one yet).
What we've been able to gather this far, these problems (mostly IDE-related) are not only on MD 9.0 but on SuSE 8.1 too. This may be a kernel bug in 2.4.19 - we are still evaluating this.
In the meantime, if possible, try the 2.2-kernels included. That will most likely fix any problems you may have if your problem too is related to Athlon/Duron/VIA. Good luck! You may need it.
(On the MD9.0 installation CD, press F1 and then look at advanced help (F2) to determine which kernel to use. They are misspelled, the correct names are alt1, alt2, and alt3 (not 'lt#').
