It booted up to the stage where 'no init' was found.
These are the last words:
/dev/sda3: clean, 295/38760 files, 46394/154624 blocks fsck succeeded. Monting root device read-write. Mounting root /dev/sda3 mount -o rw,acl,user_xattr -t ext4 /dev/sda3 /root [ 2.866574] EXT4-fs (sda3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: acl,user_xattr No init found. Try passing init= option to the kernel. umount: /dev/pts: target is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1) umount: /dev: target is busy.
I tried it it 3 times, the break shows the first and third attempt.
I think this is because root=/dev/sda3 is wrong for your LVM configuration. If you can get a look at /etc/fstab booted to openSUSE rescue, Knoppix or other live media, then substitute what you find for /dev/sda3 after root=. Grub.cfg should also have what you need if you can find it and figure it out. Sharing fstab and grub.cfg here might help. If this doesn't work, it's probably time to start with a fresh install, because even if you get it booted, you've still got both the KDM background problem to solve, Grub Legacy to finish installing, and root login trouble to solve. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
