The system boots fine, and has since the time of comment #2. As noted there,
all that was required was to copy /usr/lib/grub/stage2 to /boot/grub. There is
no problem with the BIOS, nor with using XFS to store /boot (which seems to
worked fine on the versions of suse that shipped with XFS support). I do not
think LBA48, BIOS, or filesystem types have anything directly to do with the
wrong stage2 image being present in /boot/grub, as the latter is presumably a
matter of cp(1). The above error is probably caused by an incorrect
device.map, which is something I've seen several times with 10.3. Moreover,
the error mentioned in comment #10 cannot be responsible for the situation
either, as by the time the setup command is run the correct stage2 should
already be in place.
I tried unsuccessfully to find out where the stage2 that was in /boot/grub
after installation came from: it clearly isn't the 10.3 release one, nor is it
the 10.2 release or update. It might be a corrupted copy, but it is unclear
how to determine if that is the case without disassembly. There have been no
filesystem corruption issues on the machine prior or subsequently, however, and
it is clean in the SMART sense.
