Umm.. When did the problem start? Was it there right after installation too?? If you made any changes in your hardwae/software.. mention them here.

I think this happened while opensuse was booting.. When did this start happening ? What did you do ?

yep.. i removed the hdd and took it to my frens home to get some data as.. thats it.. i have done it b'fore and i havent got any problems like this.. i used only the windows partition to transfer data.. wish you can derive a solution..
thanx in advance....
