If Knoppix can do it, why can't SuSE?
And what happened when you tried the SUSE install DVD to boot to rescue mode?
Nothing, I mean reiserfschk would start and hang somewhere in the middle of the process.
--rebuid-tree eventually completed, but SuSe freezes on boot at the reiser message stage. Anyway, that's not the point, I have the data saved now and will reinstall suses10. My gripe was with the screen frequencies.

OK. But to compare apples to apples you should have tried using a SUSE "live DVD" and see if that would have booted to KDE, or did you? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
