Yes, I too find it very frustrating, especially since opensuse does not even include a real tool for converting the various references. Please go vote for the fate entry about this. https://features.opensuse.org/306321
You need to update /etc/fstab (can be done via the yast2-partitioner)
/boot/grub/device.map, and /boot/grub/menu.lst (I don't know of anything but an editor to handle those.)
The fate entry does not discuss these last 2, but it should. Feel free to add that if you go look at it. I already have 2 comments, so it would be nice is new name were adding comments. It will make it look of more general interest.

I added my comment but did not mention device map or menu.lst because I haven't worked up the nerve to do the upgrade yet and don't know what will happen.
Bob S.
Don't forget to vote for it too. I find the whole process horribly painful. On a new install it all happens, but on an upgrade from configs with /dev/hda style references, I think the whole thing is a bit daunting. In fact a machine I upgraded 2 months ago just needed rebooting today, and I had the /boot/grub/* stuff wrong, so it would not boot. Took me an hour or so to straighten it out. Unacceptable.
