Unable to boot SuSE 9.3


After a year with 9.1 I decided to do a clean install of suse 9.3, dualbooting with XP. Everything's been fine for a week until today. After using XP today, suse now refuses to boot:

Code:
Waiting for device /dev/hdb1 to appear: ok
rootfs: major=3 minor=65 devn=833
[: volume: unexpected operator
mounting root /dev/hdb1
usage: mount [-r] [-w] [- options] [-t type] device directory
umount2: Device or resource busy
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init!
Windows is on hda, suse on hdb.

This system ran perfectly dual booting with suse 9.1 and xp for a year. Any suggestions?

Boot a live cd or linux floppy and see what's there with fdisk and maybe try to mount filesystem.
