Sean you're probably running some reiser partitions and they have become corrupted. Try inserting the suse dvd and reboot and select 'Installation' Then about 3 screens later select repair installation, or something similar. Then let it do its thing automatically and see if that cures the problem. If not, you will probably have to run reiserfsck with the tree option. Do man reiserfsck for the correct parameters.

Given that his system won't boot, how will he access <man reisersck>.?
