(In reply to comment #1, more detailed )
1) insert DVD
2) "reboot" 10.2
3) change BIOS to boot first from DVD
4) [reboots autom. again because of changed BIOS-settings]
5) DVD starts with new image-Screen (2 or 3 christmas penguins)
6) I did not change the selected menu-item so that the first item "boot from
hd" was started automatically after default-timeout
7) [may be a black screen with 1 or 2 lines messages appears]
8) the new images-Screen was shown but only the static graphics, no moving
penguins, no menu items
9) system is dead: no reaction on any key (arrows,return) or ctrl+alt+del
10) power off / on: booting until the new image-Screen, then like # 8) + 9)
To repair I started an emergency-system from 10.2-CD and found that the file
/boot/image was newer then /boot/map. Only a new install of lilo does not work
(dead like above), I had to edit lilo.conf to comment out the line "image..."
and then reinstall lilo again, then system boots with simpler text menu and
runs.

After inserting and booting from (downloaded) openSUSE 11.0 DVD the installed
openSUSE 10.2 cannot be booted because there is a new "image"-file in /boot
and
therefore lilo does not func. anymore.
Install-DVD should not overwrite existings files until User had told to do so!
1) insert DVD
2) "reboot" 10.2
3) change BIOS to boot first from DVD
4) [reboots autom. again because of changed BIOS-settings]
5) DVD starts with new image-Screen (2 or 3 christmas penguins)
6) I did not change the selected menu-item so that the first item "boot from
hd" was started automatically after default-timeout
7) [may be a black screen with 1 or 2 lines messages appears]
8) the new images-Screen was shown but only the static graphics, no moving
penguins, no menu items
9) system is dead: no reaction on any key (arrows,return) or ctrl+alt+del
10) power off / on: booting until the new image-Screen, then like # 8) + 9)
