Tried that. Even wrote all the bits of the drive back
to zero with a utility. Same issue remains.

I actually installed suse successfully using safe
settings. These included "nodma" tags in lilo. This
made the system run like crap. I took out the nodma
(to enable dma) and now the system hangs on boot when
it's trying to reconcile the partitions just like
during the install boot cd. Some how it can't read the
paritition table or mbr or something.
