If the keyboard leds are flashing then you are in kdb, but you are not
seeing the kdb prompt.  SuSe ships with a configuration that moves the
console away from tty (current virtual terminal) and displays console
messages on another vt, somewhere around tty6.  To see the kdb messages
you must be on the console, either switch to the console tty first or
remove the SuSe specific console routing.
