Just in case you do, I've found Toms Root Boot to be a great little tool (http://www.toms.net/rb/). You could also boot up with the installation CD in rescue mode, or better yet pop Knoppix into the box and see if it recognizes and initializes pcmcia. If it works then you know that it is an issue with SuSE instead of a hardware issue or a conflict with Linux. Once you have booted with one of these tools you can mount your root partition with something like # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/suseinstall and you can take a look at the logs, tweak config files, etc. If you need to do any more in depth changes to you can use chroot with something like # chroot /mnt/suseinstall Then it will be like using your installed system, you can remove packages, update lilo or whatever. Good luck, Jesse
