I did an escape at boot, selected Failsafe, and now have a running SUSE system! (This was the second boot.) Everything seems to be working. I opened a new text document in office. Now running updates.

Is Windows still on it too? And/or some other Linux suspending to swap?
I installed 11.4 multiboot on a pair of 2.8GHz P4HT i915G Dell GX280 systems with 2G RAM a month ago, and have no recollection of video trouble. Maybe Jack's CPU is too fast? ;-)
I wonder of bootsplash or splashy could have something to do with his problem. I always taboo both of them during installation. Another difference is my cmdlines include noresume & video=1152x864.
If Jack's still running with nomodeset after doing his updates, he'll need to tweak until that's not necessary for best X performance, especially if he's not using a 4:3 or 5:4 display device. Still not running. I ran updates then shutdown. Boot to SUSE after normal shutdown hangs with a blank screen. Forced power reset and boot with Failsafe also hangs with the following: System boot Control: the system has been setup Skipped Features: boot.cycle System Boot control: Running /etc/iniy.d/boot.local done INIT: Entering run level 5 Root logging started on /dev/tty1(dev/console) at Thu Jun 30 11:06:07 2011 Master Resource Control: previous runlevel N, switching to runlevel: 5 Master Resource Control: Running /etc/init.d/before.local done blogd: Can not read from fd 0: Input/output error Starting D-Bus daemon done Loading basic firewall rules done
I have Windows XP on a drive that is not powered since it is failing. I had Fedora on the drive where I installed SUSE but I think the partitioning has wiped that out. I did not install multiboot. Display is E-Machines E211H 1920x1080. As a nube, I have to ask how to make the recommended changes? Jack D.
