 As I said, everything is working fine on Skackware 10.1. It can find 
all partittion on my primary master, as before.
I know there are new motherboard and processor, but if my HD is in the 
same place, Slackware can boot and mout all partition of it as before, 
why could not SuSE 9.3?

I follow your tips, typing 3 to the boot options, but an error occurred:
"Waiting for device /dev/hda6 to appear .....not found -- exiting to /bin/sh
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off"
$

I can't  run yast or sax2. Why?
How can I do it?
a.

Ps--I tried Rescue mode:
$mkdir /mnt/gonow
$mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/gonow
$mkinitrd -R -u
--reboot--

...but an "panic" error occurs!
