Hi  a couple of things  ..

Is your 300watt PSU up to the job i have had to update all of mine to 450watt 
jobs   and if you have no data on the hdd i would suggest you "fdisk" the 
drive and start again  unless you already have done so .

I found with the suse 10.0 install (boxed version) that if i left the default 
install to do it's thing then all was fine  but change the software selection 
(add software)  the install went belly up on the reboot ..

Pete .
