OpenSuSE 11 "Your previous installation has failed" on startup


Hey all, quick question for you. Hopefully someone can help me out.

I've decided to try openSuSE 11. I used the DVD to install it, and everything seemed to go fine. After I restarted, it did the hardware detection stuff and let me log in. Works great. The problem is that whenever I restart, it says: "your previous installation has failed" and then it asks if I want to continue. I click yes, and it does the same post-install configuration/hardware detection thing. It tries to detect my graphics cards (I have 2 Nvidia 8800 GT cards). I don't know if it succeeds (I can't change my resolution and my monitor doesn't seem to be detected, but that could be a driver issue), but it lets me log in again and works fine as far as I can tell.

I believe I read on some post that it has trouble detecting dual video cards. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Boot from the DVD, and choose "Repair installed system". Select the automatic function and see what it throws up.
