It's most likely a kernel issue with your hardware, not a HD problem.

Can you clarify this statement? Did this system at one time boot? Did it
fail to boot after an upgrade? Is this a new SuSE install?

Try booting with the "no-hlt" kernel option (ie "lilo> linux no-hlt")
and see if that helps.
We've noticed that kernels built for K7 procs (Athlon) tend to do the
same thing on Celeron boxes. You might try installing a 686/PPro
optimized kernel instead, if this is the case.
