This is getting into thin air for me. Probably someone with more
experience has some better ideas here.

As you can pass arguments to the "boot: ... " yourself you could look
what further arguments there are apart from ones set by the selection
you do.

A first try might be to go with the third option, I think "install safe
mode" or something. You will see in the "boot: ..." line there are
already a lot of things disabled.

See whether that brings you further.

Concerning further support, I am not sure which source has more
experienced people, but I got a bit lost how many different support
lists and forums there are listed under http://opensuse.org. So I don't
know where there are more knowledgeable people, here in this mailing
list or in any of the forums. One is for example http://www.suseforums.net.

Maybe that gets you further.
