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

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"

I experienced a problem similar to this on a clean install, but since
the system finally booted, after checking for sata drives about 4 times
for each possible location, I thought maybe it was just being overly
thorough.

I do recall that the delay starts with the message:

COMRESET failed (error=1009)

I jotted it down because at first I thought it was not going to boot.
