Andy, what was your server box that SuSE got put on to start with? Intel P3?
Let's exclude the obvious, that you don't have an AMD setup CD.

BIOS reset to Factory Defaults (with the exception of the Packard Bell splash screen, thats just wrong...)
Replaced the CD Rom with a Known Good CD Burner. The CDRom found a new home in a windows 2000 server, and is operating fine. Before I swapped it, it booted from a Windows XP Install CD, well. The SuSE CD found it's way into the CD Burner, same dilemma. Welcome screen then death.
No amount of coersion into console changing will be entered into by the PC at all... Almost like it's hanging. A quick check of the NUMLOCK button/light initially says that the machine hasnt hung, just not DOING anything.
When I get home from work, I'll run all the hardware components past the HCL list for SuSE 9.1 and see if there's any known issues with anything.
