I think that this is reason.
If initrd not contain jfs driver module, it can not to boot. Your
should boot jfs system
using rescue and execute mkinitrd. Other ways its not so easy.

Any ideas?

Issue is not so easy, because it seems that originally in openSuse 10.3 is
not support for jfs. Perhaps it is easier boot without initrd if jfs
support is
compiled into kernel.
