0: XEN -- openSUSE 10.2 - 2.6.18.8-0.3
1: openSUSE 10.2 - 2.6.18.8-0.3
2: Failsafe -- openSUSE 10.2 - 2.6.18.8-0.3
3: openSUSE 10.2
4: Floppy
5: Failsafe -- openSUSE 10.2

Using openSUSE 10.2 - 2.6.18.8-0.3 or openSUSE 10.2 gives me a blank screen 
except for a ~1 inch line at the top of the screen.

Using Failsafe -- openSUSE 10.2 - 2.6.18.8-0.3 or Failsafe -- openSUSE 10.2
gives me the output from my original post:
