Do you mean nothing appears on the monitor except the little 'out of range' message? If it's what you see, you are a victim of an irritating SuSe problem : you have to supply boot options such as vga=vesa or vga=792 (my values), and this solves the problem.

Of course I see the normal screen as when booting from a SuSE DVD. Also

I see the options to choose. When I choose what I want, the the "Loading Linux Kernel", whereafter the message appear.

If that's the case, you have merely side-stepped the problem rather than correcting it. "out of range" would indicate an incorrect scan rate, vertical or horizontal. Obtain the correct frequencies for your monitor (from windoz install disk or off mfgr's web site) and edit/insert correct values into /etc/X11/[XF86Config or xorg.conf] with your favorite editor or sax/sax2 in a runlevel < 5.

You have to understand, that I haven't installed the SuSE 10. Would do it, but stopped due to the message. I cannot use SAX then. Erik
