I'm not a SUSE pilot, but here are a couple common things to check. Are
your filesystems being mounted? Are they setup in /etc/fstab? Can you
boot to single-user mode and mount / manually? Do you have any way to
grab the output from `dmesg` and send it to the list for review?

Thanks for the reply, I can get to the command line if I boot in
failsafe but cant print DMESG. When I shutdown, it says "tmpfs unmounted
" and then "/dev/hda2 umounted' which leads this rank amateur to beleive
that the filesystems are the problem. LS in ETC shows both FSTAB and
MTAB but I am not sure if they are really there. When I try to open
KDE, it displays messages about X server problems and kdeinit.rc not
found and exits.
Thanks again for your help, Brian
