Ok, I removed the xorg.conf and set the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device to use 'Device: "radeon"'. Now I get
(EE) RADEON(0): Chipset: "CAICOS" (ChipID = 0x6779) requires KMS
off to reboot without the 'nomodeset'
1-For 50-device.conf to work you also need properly uncommented sections in 50-monitor.conf and 50-screen.conf, at least in every case I've tried to use xorg.conf.d/. 2-nomodeset on cmdline prevents the radeon driver from working at all. Radeon requires working KMS.
... ok, now I'm back to being unable to boot:
mdadm: an md device must be given in this mode ... /dev/md0: the superbblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
off to try to reinstall that partition..
Boot messages are often in a misleading order as long as you're using systemd and/or "YES" for RUN_PARALLEL= in /etc/sysconfig/boot. This also may be a problem that goes away if not using systemd init. You can per boot or permanently not use it via instructions in the relnotes: http://www.suse.de/relnotes/i386/openSUSE/12.1/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
