Before you press enter in the Grub OS selector menu, enter the kernel load option command **nomodeset **and then press enter. Anytime you upgrade a kernel, it is best to look at your at your grub menu.lst file (/boot/grub/menu.lst) as root to determine if kernel load options need to be added (look at your original load line as it may have been there, but did not get copied over to the new kernel). Also, if you have loaded the nVidia proprietary video driver, it must be reloaded in order for it to work in the new kernel. Last, if nothing else works, in addition to nomodeset or in place of it, try the option 3, to switch to runlevel 3 and not load your desktop. This would allow you to at least have a terminal session to try and fix things. Hopefully, you did not get rid of your old kernel or you could be in trouble.
Thank You,
Also if you use the NVIDIA driver you may need to reinstall it.
The screen is freezing can not install anything.
nomodeset of textmode is showning this :

option 3 ??
Yeah, that’s a kernel panic. You probably want to boot to your old kernel and start over. I know that you can specify the kernel in the grub command environment and I’m pretty sure you have a backup of the old kernel in the /boot directory of your file system. It should have been created when you installed the new kernel. Hopefully some of the more experienced folks around here have more details for you.
No problem have images of my system.
The system is still working normally I use the pae kernel.
I just installed with yast kernel -rt then rebooted the system and choose rt in the bootmenu.
So, when you installed the new kernel, did you leave an old one to use should the new one not work? The kernel load option 3, basically tells the kernel as it is loading to stop at runlevel 3 and to not load the Desktop X server. Again, as you select the kernel to load in your grub menu.lst file, you enter just the single number “3”, with no quotes and press enter. If you can get to the terminal prompt, you have an option to run the terminal version of YaST. If you did not keep a running kernel and can not get to runlevel 3, then you must reload openSUSE. Here is something you might find helpful.

Thank You,
I know I can go to runlevel 3 (init3) with the working pae kernel but not with the kernel-rt it freezes: kernel panic
Both kernels are 32 bit right? ie you did not install a 32 bit kernel on a 64 bit system. Just checking 
Yes both kernels are 32 bit.
Actually it is installed on a 64 bits system for using vst plugins with wine.
But I use instead of VST plugins now LV2
I will do a new opensuse 11.3 64-bit installation.
Did a new install openSuse 11.3 x86_64 on a 64 bits system Athlon 64 3500+
Unfortunately, after installation kernel-rt also kernel panic.
Is it not possible to use kernel-rt with opensuse 11.3 ?
0.193081 kernel panic not syncing:attempted to kill init
Installed an older opensuse version 11.2 x86_64 with kernel-rt on the same system no problem.
Why is it not possible with opensuse 11.3 ? Is this a kernel bug?
This one is working for me :
RPM Search OpenSuSE kernel-rt-2.6.33.7~jng117-2.x86_64.rpm
no respons from bug report 662674
Now I also need for installing nvidia driver
kernel-source-rt-2.6.33.7
Just a wild guess, but nobody uses or properly tests that 11.3 kernel-rt, since kernel-desktop satisfies the casual audio user.
If it is not tested or not working please why offer it
By the way you need it for applications like openoctave or MusE OpenOctave branch
An excellent question. In my experience, not every package is subject to an equivalent level of testing. Some packages are more equal than others. 
Problem solved:
Add ftp source :
server ftp.gwdg.de
map pub/linux/misc/suser-jengelh/openSUSE_11.3/
installed kernel-rt-2.6.33.7~jng117-2.x86_64.rpm
nvidiafx-kmp-rt graphic driver is autmatically added.
downloaded orginally linux Nvidia driver version 256.53 ( same version nvidiafx-kmp-rt)
restarted computer and with nvidia-settings apply second monitor settings.
Works great for me.
That’s great. I’ve heard the jengelh kernel-rt mentioned before. If I ever need one, I will follow your solution, thanks.
