Kind of what I thought. The machine has a 3Ware RAID controller in it. 
Rebooting ( without poweroff )brings it up right away.

Really, the box was really stable running OpenSUSE 10.2. Once I upgraded 
to 10.3, things just when to crap. I tried running a customer 2.6.22.11 
kernel, but it hasn't made any difference.

I'm going to wipe it out this weekend and put 10.2 back on.
