Thanks for help and sorry that i write a little bit confusing, it is just the case, \
that i do not really have a clue, why my system is damaged…that is why it is a \
little bit confusing…

I mean by this, that when i press ESC after grub has loaded (so that I escaped the \
splash screen) I can see all the things loading the system as okay it is already \
welcoming me in Opensuse 13.1 (Bottle)…And it is nearly loading everything in the \
system, all with okay, but after   [ ok ] Reached target Basic System.
          Starting Bluetooth service… 
   [ ok ] Reached target 389 Directory Server
  the system hangs showing me just the cursor _ blinking and doing nothing at all 
@ Carl: I already waited about 5 minutes, and normally my system is up in about 40 \
seconds.

I also thought about that, but I am frightened, that much of my system settings is \
ruined and have to do a lot of install stuff…That is why i asked you here ;)

Just to clarify the stuff with the script:
I already deleted the script and links out of /init.d and tried to reboot, but this \
did not help at all, still I am not even able to run a console via CTRL-ALT-F1 or run \
the   recovery mode. Actually I do not really know how i can make sanity check of my \
system at this state…

THANKS so far and sorry again for so much writing :) - Benjamin.

Now, this thing about "directory 389" I don't understand at all what it
is. We need precise clarification of this part in order to make an
accurate recommendation.

There is a brute force procedure which _sometimes_ succeeds to restore
some big problems. It is booting from the FULL install DVD (not the
KDE/Gnome lives), and when asked, choose "upgrade installed system", and
follow your nose...

It basically destroys updates and replaces many configuration files with
defaults - but not all.
