Are you saying you tested it and it worked?

I don't see how it could possibly be the problem. Your machine booted,
so grub must be there

I think Pete Connolly's advise about using mkinitrd -f lvm2 is more
likely to work.

But you may have run into a bug in the SP1 mkinitrd. I suggest you boot
the system using the installer's "boot installed system" and run an
online update to get the latest fixes

You might also consider opening a call with novell support, so it can be
properly investigated, if none of the ideas in this thread work
