It looks to me as if something has got screwed up on hda1

what errors do you get when it fails to boot?

i'm *guessing* it's probably some funky error with ext2 on hda1 and the disk 
needs to be checked/fixed - in which case e2fuck is your friend, though 
debian will do this automatically if the disk is foobargled (unless it's 
reaaally foobared and can't even run it), dunno about SuSE..?

other thigns that may have gone tits up is a screwed superblock (in which case 
you'll probably get an error sometyhing like "panic: unable to mount root FS 
on xx:xx"), or something odd to break the boot sector (in which case lilo 
wont even run), i do't think i've ever seen anyhtign else from a cold 
powerdown...

Another reason to use ext3... :p
