First overwriting of the MBR and losing GRUB and there by not being able to boot Windoze, and second getting the XFree86 to come up.
first, what do you mean by "laying SuSE 9.1 Pro over the Red Hat distribution"? I presume you have files you do not wish to lose. If this is the case, I would be inclined to copy those to the M$ partition and do a clean install of SuSE. I've never tried, but I imagine trying to install another distro over a different will either result in a total overwrite, or chaos! GRUB is the default boot manager in 9.1, and will find your Windoze partition and show it at boot-up. As for XFree86, I have had no problems with that on installation on any machine I've tried.
