But you do have it recompiled for the right CPU architecture
and not only moved?

BTW: There is a prefech bug on AMD processors - try to run it recompiled
with less optimization, newer kernels have workarounds.

Another thing to try is to run memtest86 (SuSE has it in Lilo menu)
let it run for a while (full night)
