As a non-SUSE user I can't offer specific advice, but I'd check to see
if the backend is writing to its logfile before halting, as there may
be useful messages here.

Are you using LIRC to control any external devices? I guess it's
possible that if a LIRC script called by the backend to change channel
failed it could affect the backend startup. For remote controls
however, the frontend is the responsible party.
