  Yes, I still get that. It's *partially* fixed at the moment. I did 
the 'mkinitrd -s' thing that Nkoli told me to try. Now I get the splash 
screen and get to choose what I want to 'boot up', but once I hit 'enter', it 
goes straight back to the scrolling text and finally to the login screen. 
IIRR, the scrolling text was another screen with small graphics moving on it 
and *then* the login screen. I'd just like to get it all back to normal and 
maybe even find out why a kernel update with YaST screws it all up.
