    Suse 10.3 boot problem

    Hello, all

    I installed Suse 10.3 on my computer. Installation process went well, every thing seemed fine, I can even install several programs (and these programs also worked fine).

    The problem happened when I restarted the computer:

    the boot screen came up (which showed three boot options: Suse 10.3, floppy, and fail safe), however, after I chose Suse 10.3 option and entered, the screen went black, and the computer restarted again; next, the boot screen again came up , and I choose Suse 10.3 option and entered, and again the computer restart....

    THe problem seems like: the monitor doesn't give enough time to wait for system to boot (because I can see the monitor power light went yellow after I entered), but I am not sure.

    So, How can I have the Suse boot up successfully?

    Boot up in Failsafe Mode and execute this
    Code:
    su -
    grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    lspci | grep -i vga
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Thank you very much for help.

    What I did is: I re-installed the system with Suse 10.1. However the sampe problem exist (a strange thing is: with Suse 10.1, sometimes it can be bootable for somehow reason that I don't know). Here is the output after the command:

    tmp0007e963ef66:/home/wenwenba # grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Driver "kbd"
    Driver "mouse"
    Driver "nv"
    tmp0007e963ef66:/home/wenwenba # lspci | grep -i vga
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 420] (rev a3)
    tmp0007e963ef66:/home/wenwenba #
