Together with the openSUSE-DVD, the bootloader was newly written. After a recent kernel upgrade, the early boot complains about beeing unable to mount "/dev/disc/by-id/ata-ST3250318AS_6VY6Y6F5-part2". I can be fixed by hand by issuing the command: "mount /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250318AS_6VY6Y6F5-part2 /root" Strangely, a typo occured in the fstab. I'm unsure whether this was my fault or Yast-Bootloader's. Anyway, fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst where fixed accordingly and a 'sudo mkinitrd" was issued. Unfortunately, the issue is still there. The question now is, which component fails to update to the 'fixed' partition path and where is the old value still lying around...
