I got SuSE 5.3 today, and this is  what I did........

I have a 4 Gb EIDE HDD.

I used PARTITION MAGIC to resize my current partition and shrank it down to
2 GB.

Using PMagic again, I created a LINUX partition (1.5 GB) and a SWAP
PARTITION (1/2 Gb)

Then I used BOOT MAGIC ( something like LILO) and added the EXT2 partition
to the menu.

Everything is cool so far.

I pop in the SuSE CD and restart.  

Computer boots from the CD, and I proceed with the installation procedure. 

Not a single hitch.

SuSE installs flawlessly.  Then it starts Linux.

I log in as ROOT.

Everything proceeds perfectly.

Now, what I did was type "SAX"

The configurator program came on and by mistake I chose the wrong monitor.

So I say save changes, and it tells me that it is attempting to start the X
system.

My monitor goes crazy.  Because of the wrong settings that I chose.

I hard boot the computer.

POST flys by, and then BOOT MAGIC comes up......

I select linux, and it tries to hand over control to the linux partition.

That's where my system dies.

It just doesn't boot.

What am I doing wrong?
