Gremlins in 11.0

This morning, I attempted my usual bootup in openSUSE 11.0, and it got
as far as the green screen with the horizontal progress bar. The bar
went about a quarter of the way and then it froze. I did a hot
re-boot and tried again. Same result. Then, I inserted the openSUSE
11.0 DVD and attempted to do a repair. Same result, even when
operating from the DVD!
What was left to try? For want of a better inspiration, I put it in
memory test from the DVD and let it cook for an hour and a half while
I prepared breakfast. After that, I did another hot re-boot and
decided to try Fail-safe. This worked and put me into what looked
like the normal desktop. To see what would happen if I switched it
off and tried again, I did so and then went into the normal KDE 3.5
Everything is back to normal, but I have no idea what was wrong or
really how I got everything back right. ;-)
Puzzled,
Godzilla
