I’m attempting a dual-boot install of Windows 7 and OpenSUSE 12.3 (from Linux Mint) on an Asus eee netbook. Installation seems to be going fine up till the reboot, then it gets most of the way through the user configurations and users, then I see some boot process pages for a few seconds, then I get a blue terminal window that fills a quarter of my screen, and that’s what the computer boots to after that. I’m not sure what’s going wrong, I’ve used the same partition setup for a couple of years, going through a few Linux distributions. I’m admittedly terrible when it comes to command line, so I could really use some help!

Not sure if this will help, I had a experience wayback like yours.
When you get the blue screen do alt - F2 and see if you have a login
screen. What your getting could be caused by the video driver not being
installed or the user not being in the video group. See 12.3 release
notes.
