I may be mistaken, but I suspect the 'not enough mem' error is caused by the small size of the Suse partition (9 gig). Depending on how much software you have installed, there may not be enough room left for the temporary files the system must create in /tmp to load the graphical elements of the system.
Try booting to runlevel 3. At the grub screen, you may see a boot: line below the menu of OSs. Enter 'init 3' and press enter. You should be able to boot into multi-user command line mode. Su to root, and issue the command 'swapon' to activate swap.
Then the command 'init 5' to go to graphical mode. If it works, you can use SuSe utilities to check the amount of swap usage, and thereby verify that the SuSe partition is too small for normal boot to graphical mode.
