Installed SLES 11 and KDE4. First booting works fine. When I click on restart to re-boot the machine, it then reached the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 and displys a dial. I press the enter, it tries to load. When It reaches the Green Windows displaying

SUSE Linux  
Enterprise Server

It always hangs here.

What could be wrong?

Once again, the first time booting is fine. But the following warm re-booting will hang.

Hi  
Have a look down in the logs in /var/logs specifically the messages one.

What happens if you reboot from the console;

Press alt+ctrl+F1 and login as root user then enter reboot.
