The SuSE boot sequence is rather long. Which part (and which version) are we talking about? As Andi said, putting a 'set -x' into /init script generated by /sbin/mkinitrd is one thing. You can also boot with 'linuxrc=trace' to generate a huge amount of udev and /init debug. Booting with 'confirm' will allow you to step each runlevel script, see /etc/init.d/boot, look for DO_CONFIRM=. My Email provider kicked me off of lkml, so I dont have the rest of this thread at hand.
