Curious problem...

I have a box that I upgraded from SuSE 8.2 to SuSE 9.1 over the weekend. It worked perfectly prior to the upgrade. I was able to get it to boot on the install disk, and install 9.1.

Now it refuses to boot in anything but safemode. I can get it to boot an old MSDos disk... When it runs in safe mode, it works perfectly. I'd love to be able to tell you where it fails in the boot process, but that insane default that SuSE instituted with 9.1 to boot with the splashscreen, allowing you to see the bootlog as it whips by by pressing F2 keeps me from telling you, as it seems to fail almost immediately.

It is interesting to note that I can't get Knoppix to boot either.

I have yet to try to reinstall 8.2...

Any thoughts, suggestions?

I'm pretty sure the Bios is sort of old.
