No - from hitting Enter in the GRUB menu.

Might depend on the value of "GUI". Mine wouldn't even load in 192 MB. Anyway, my preceding P3/700 MHz/512 MB box hasn't been much worse, either.

Hmm, it's always been like that. As for "uncommon", this is a more or less out of the box openSUSE 10.3 installation. (Without Beagle, in case you were wondering.) Perhaps that's what's wrong? :-)
OTOH, even the GUIless CentOS server boxes I look after for a living take about 5 mins until they are up and running again after a kernel update - including BIOS, but without the fsck penalty.
Thanks, Tilman
