Help with loading the kernel and boot

I have install linux opensuse 11.4 on a formatted hard drive
when the computer reboots, it goes to a grub prompt…what do I do from there?
I am getting an error about loading the kernel
how do I find it and how do I get it running?

Is it just the one HD present?
If not, what else do you have there?

Did you check the check sums of the iso download? Did you run the media check on the installer disk?
