Look in the rc.config ... there has to be a NO at the line with =


#
# It is important to run faxsetup before setting this to `yes`!!!
# =

START_HYLAFAX=3Dno


Put it that way...

and consult the
/usr/doc/packages/hylfax - README.SuSE


That was the problem for me ... same kernel and dist.
I "played" now 3 days... So if you have more questions...
