LILO is having a problem...  probably can't find the kernel or such.

Can you boot from the 'rescue' system (on the CD or DVD) and run LILO??

1) Boot from the DVD

2) Mount the root partition at /mnt

3) chroot /mnt

4) Mount the /boot partition at  /boot

5) Check out your /etc/lilo.conf   (actually SuSE now uses grub unless 
you tell it differently so maybe lilo is from an old install of 
something and grub didn't get installed?)

6) If everything looks ok,  run lilo.

If it doesn't look ok, you may have installed grub and you need to check 
that out.
