Understanding is certainly the beginning of solving problems. I assume that kernel panic indicates that there is something terrible wrong with the computer. But it does not give me more than those well known Windows info's.
Yes it does - you just don't understand what it's telling you. You did the right thing asking on here. It's probably not terribly broken, since you can still boot using the SuSE CD as an emergency disk. Basically, the Linux system can't get its disk service going. It's missing something important like a driver (do you have SCSI disks?), or the bit of code which tells it how to read the information on the disk (the filesystem module, in technical terms). How did you get into this state? My guess is you upgraded your kernel, then forgot to recreate the initialisation ramdisk file? -- The past: Smart users in front of dumb terminals
