Note that the "# /boot directory is not mounted..." above is a lie. It may say in /etc/fstab that that should have been the case, but it was not the actual state while the new kernel was being installed.
I opened a bugzilla that was solved with that hack (export PBL_SKIP_BOOT_TEST=1). The cause was different that yours, but the solution could be the same. If you are interested I'll post the bug number, but now my dinner is waiting :-)
Please? :-)
Why does a new kernel installation require anything to access /etc/grub.conf anyway?
Because it adds a new entry to boot that precise kernel, instead of reusing the "vmlinuz" symlink.
The question remains. Boot with openSUSE Grub happens via /boot/grub/menu.lst, not /etc/grub.conf. AFAICT, the latter is a config file for installing Grub's stage* files, which has zip todo with configuring new kernels in Grub's menu. -- "Love is not easily angered.
