Thanks for the reply and helpful hints. Made some changes in fstab and
grub, got rid of some of those extraneous files and rebooted intending to
follow some more of your suggestions.
Now the darn thing loads to a prompt and does not accept the root bor the
user passwords.
Oh well I guess it is time for a reinstall.

Bob, don't throw the baby out with the bath water. I'm sure your system is
still there. Sounds to me like you have a grub menu.lst error that is
booting bits and pieces of your system.
If you can get to it, then give us:
cat /proc/partitions
mount
df -h
As Michael suggested I was able to get in with an init 1 and then do a startx.
I was able to do all of your suggested commands in Konsole and they are posted
below except for the /var/log/Xorg.0.log which is pretty big. (55kb) to post
on the list. I can send it privately or post it somewhere.
Before that though, I have noticed two things. At the booting sequence, just
before the login command. it says "Welcome to SuSE 11.2-Emerald". Wrong, this
is supposed to be 11.3. Once I am inside I get a message that "Policy Kit has
failed". The fstab is correct and all of the partitions are mounting
correctly. The menu.lst also seems to be correct. Another thing that I have
noticed is that the partitioner has misidentified the hd's so I modified the
device.map in Grub to represent what the partitioner thinks. No change. Same
boot problem. I have no idea what the device.map is supposed to do.
One primary thing, although I'm not sure it is pertinent. At the very first
initial stage when the grub graphical menu comes up, if I make it show the
plain text menu, there is a lot of old stupid stuff in"high memory". OS's
that have been long deleted. Don't know what that is about.
Anyway, here is what you asked for. Hope you can make some sense of it.
