I have installed SUSE 9.1 PRO on my HP PC which was running Windows XP and now I am unable to boot my pc. I get a black screen with the text GRUB and a cursor. I can't type anything.
If I leave the installation DVD in the drive then I get the option to install. YaST detects that Linux has already been installed and gives me the option to boot into the installed version and this works and brings up KDE
However when YaST is running my monitor complains that the video resolution is out of range
According to YaST:
I have the following partitions

Can anyone tell me what the problem is please?
