Hi Eric,
On my 9.2 P-III dual sys I recovered the sys with the use of install
DVD1 >install > repair >automatic repair. Allow it to repair 'booting'.
Then I had to goto /usr/src/linux and issue as root 'make
cloneconfig' , then you must remove and then re-install the nvidia
drivers. There may still be some voodoo needed; I don't completely
understand the nvidia driver process yet!
Marcus Meissner od SUSE wrote this this morning:
after the YOU kernel install, before re-booting, he requests you to do:
"In a running system, run "mkinitrd" as root. This will
restore the symlink.
Check with ls -l /boot/initrd that it points to
a initrd-2.6.8-24.10-xxxx where xxxx is default, smp or bigsmp.
For nonbooting systems, boot a rescue system,
mount the installed system, chroot into it, and
run "/sbin/mkinitrd" which should restore the symlink there.
(Or just use ln -s with the correct paths.)
Ciao, Marcus
I take this to mean that the YOU patch was erroniously forgetting to do
the LINK of the new initrd-2.6.8-24.10-default (or whatever is right)
to initrd.

p.s. If anyone has gotten a working sys w/o re-doing the nvidia stuff,
please let us know
