Ok, it was a real PITA, but I got the BIOS updated.  I somehow corrupted 
Server 2003, spent a couple of hours trying to fix that, then gave up.  
I installed XP Pro to create the ROM update diskette (no floppy drives 
except the machine I am working on).  The new BIOS was created 7/13/99, 
so it isn't exactly new.  I have started re-installing Suse 10, the 
first disk finished, computer rebooted, and froze at "Starting syslog 
services" again.  I am currently finishing the install via failsafe  
mode, but it appears that I am going to be having the same problem.
