Hi, I tried to upgrade Suse 10.2 to 10.3 but that failed so I did a clean, fresh install with a freshly partitioned harddisk. Suse displays the boot options screen and then switches to the normal splash screen where you should be able to press esc to get to text screen showing you what its doing. And this is the problem, its sits there for 2 minutes or more and the keyboard won't respond. Then it finally starts the boot process at which point I can press esc to see the progress. Once it starts it behaves normally but I have to eliminate the long delay before it boots. Any ideas? I have already removed all peripherals especially usb devices but to no avail.
