For some time I have problems booting my Linux SUSE9.2. Mostly the boot takes me to the command prompt although occasionally the boot will work correctly. When the boot fails and I run df -k I see 2 /dev/hda2 filesystems and a message saying that "no message logging because /var file system is not accessibly". Also fsck failed, repair manually and reboot. I a specialise in Oracle not System Adminstration so please bear this in mind when replying!!

It sounds like hdd failure. You may want to write down any error msg from the fail boot. Look at the dmesg for hardware log. Check the /etc/fstab to see the hdd config. of your SuSE. Then you maybe able to find out if really hdd failure.
