I tried to upgrade Suse 10.2 to 10.3 but that failed so I did a clean, fresh
install with a freshly partitioned harddisk. Suse displays the boot options
screen and then switches to the normal splash screen where you should be
able to press esc to get to text screen showing you what its doing.

And this is the problem, its sits there for 2 minutes or more and the
keyboard won't respond. Then it finally starts the boot process at which
point I can press esc to see the progress. Once it starts it behaves
normally but I have to eliminate the long delay before it boots.

Edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and add "splash=verbose" to the kernel boot options, instead of "splash=silent"
