Claudio nailed it. For some reason your new kernel isn't loading the ext4 module
on boot. You can try and manually load it with:

modprobe -v ext4

and see what errors/messages you receive. You can also check to see what your
system thinks is loaded with:

lsmod | grep ext4

which should return something like:

12:55 zephyr:~> lsmod | grep ext4
ext4                  343457  1
jbd2                   74521  1 ext4
crc16                   1411  1 ext4

if ext4 is loaded. Now you know what the issue is, you may want to start a new
thread something like "kernel 2.6.37 fails to load ext4 -- help?"" which may get
fresh eyes on the problem.

In the mean time, you may also want to add:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/

as a repository and install the latest kernel from there. The Kernel:/HEAD repo
generally has reliable kernels and I have used them since 11.3 was released to
get around an atheros bug in 2.6.34.

Good luck!
