Cameron,
This sounds like an X issue. The system probably is not able to launch x
and the drops to runlevel 3.
Look at the (i believe /var/log/xorg.o.log log - i ave no system around
now).
Do you use a binary driver for a nvidia or ati graphics card?
There is a running gag where you do an update of the kernel-source but
not of the kernel itself (you have to update this explicitly via urpmi
install kernel.....
This nice feature causes the problem you see because dkms cannot compile
the driver for your kernel. A known trap for newbies.
If this is not the cause see if you can create a better xorg.conf file.
There is a draktool for this but at the moment my head is more into
suse. But you can find it if you try. Or you use an old one that 'worked'.

After looking at xorg.conf, xorg.0.log, and various other possiblities,
I was stumped. Decided to <urpmi --auto-select> again. After three
rounds, all is as it should be. X starts on boot. Apparently not
everything got updated the first, second or third times. Still don't
know which file/ update was the culprit. Might have to dig around a bit
more.
Thanks for the input!
Cameron
