Hey all,
I just upgraded one of my desktops to SuSE 11.0 (from SUSE 10.3). The
upgrade was failry smooth and uneventful. Except for one minor hiccup:
I am stuck in multi-user/text-mode login (runlevel 3). I have tried to
switch over to runlevel 5 by issuing init 5 at a command prompt as
root. When I reboot the host, the kernel initiates as init 5, but the
host still boots up in runlevel 3.
Is there something else I need to look at/edit/beat on? Thanks.

X is not working. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Do this:
Manually go to runlevel 5.
Start YAST and click on "system". You should find a graphic
marked "system services" or something close to that. Click
on it.
At the top there are two radio buttons. Click "expert mode".
Now right under the buttons you will find a choice menu marked
"set default runlevel" or something similar. Click on the
button on the right and choose runlevel 5.
That's it.
You should now boot into graphic mode.

At the risk of a dumb Q, what is it I should be looking for?

Look for errors in the logfile. I assume that some graphics driver has been
installed. The X log file gives lot of info which helps with modifying your
xorg.conf. The easy way to try is first using sax2 to install the generic
graphics card. For problems with card x or y you should give more
information and/or the listing of the mentioned file

A message right at the end of Xorg.0.log which says something like
Fatal server error:
"Server failed to start or similar description" |
