Well, things have gone from bad to worse. I am now forced to work off my Win 2k boot as SuSE 7.3 Pro gives me tons of errors at startup. Where to begin? Well, there is kernel panic, there something with bogus sectors 5000 something (can't remember the exact number, but it was in the 5000 range), can't find RAM disk, plus a lot more. In other words SuSE is simply not functioning at startup. I have tried booting fron CD 1, but I can't find any option in the 7.3 CD at startup that will boot into my existing system.
There are also some basic commands that I am unaware of from the command line, like how can I print the startup errors to a printer, save the errors as a file on a floppy or even how to get the system to shutdown properly from the command line. Some of this info I have, but on my SuSE system that won't run.
A not so cheerfull,

OK dude, things can always get worse. What happened right before all this mess? My first guess is it can't find its libraries (/lib/kernelversion). Are they there? When you boot to the CD, proceed until it gives you the option of booting an existing system. The errors are likely in /var/log/localmessages and messages so print those files. (they'll be long) Oh, I'm sorry, how can I help people when I can't get my own problems fixed. - -- Conway's Law: In any organization there will always be one person who knows what is going on.
