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

Sounds like you didn't get your hdlists updated. I ALWAYS do
urpmi.update -a && urpmi --auto-select when updating my system or even
my hdlists. The only exception is maybe a kernel & kernel-source
mismatch of some kind (/etc/urpmi/skip.list will fix that :) )
