Okay, this was very helpful.  At the very least I was able to go into my 
home directory and get the mount points for my partitions.  I can now 
make sense out of the partitions in YAST  if I do have to install.  So 
for me that 's great progress.

Here is grub.conf:
"root(hd1,1)
install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage 2  /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0)  
/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 
(hd1,1) /boot/grub.menu.lst
quit"

I'm not exactly sure about the spacing because I'm going from my 
handwritten notes.  The /boot/grub.menu.lst file looks like it might be 
interesting.  Maybe I could add the duplicate install there, and boot 
up.  But that wouldn't solve the kernel panic problem.

Okay, so it looks like I can slowly navigate with the rescue prompt 
now.  Does anybody have any idea about what I can about the original 
kernel panic message.  Jonathan suggested using the old kernel.  How 
would I do that?

I'm just happy to get my partition information with Rod's help.  So if 
we can't pull off solving the kernel panic problem, that's okay.
