Ok....Let´s supose that your boot setings are ok.

Another try is make sure that the Kernel Image are instaled and activated...
Boot from CD, and choose YAST to boot the instaled packages, should work,
then follow the steps above:

Basicaly you need 3 Partitions:

/dev/sda1	Boot
/dev/sda2	swap
/dev/sda3	Root

You can check this with fdisk /dev/sda

then you have to put the Kernel on /dev/sda1 with

dd if=/boot/zImage.prep of=/dev/sda1

then you must activate the Boot Partition with either:

/sbin/activate /dev/sda 1

or with fdisk then it should boot from the HD.

With regards,
Marcus Aureliano.
