I had a similar problem once, turned out that even though I had powered 
the PC down, because it was connected to the powersupply some power was 
getting through.

What to do, is to boot from the SUSE disk and run the rescue system as 
that may fix the problem

I have been using SuSE since 6.0 and I still consider myself a newbie :)
