That's in 11.3, in 11.2 is a bit more difficult.
Boot to runlevel 3. It seems your home is not mounted.

I have tried for several months to upgrade to the 2.6.37 kernel in
the various release candidate iterations, as each appeared. But
each installation was unsuccessful, and the operatiing system
wouldn't boot to desktop with the same symptoms as I am about to
describe in the subsequent paragraphs. I ended up downgrading my
kernel back to the 2.6.34 version to allow the operating system to
boot up properly. I did this by using the failsafe mode to boot
up, then using yast to downgrade the kernel-default to
2.6.34.7-0.7.1. The other installed kernel packages,
kernel-default-base, kernel-default-devel, kernel-devel, and
kernel-source remained at version 2.6.37 but everything worked.
You can have several kernels installed. If an update fails, you simply
boot the previous kernel.

2. When kde would normally boot to the kde login screen, I get a
message: Cannot enter home directory using /.
