Am few weeks ago i got the same problem on an standard suse 8.1
I've updatet it over you and reboot. The machine didn't come back.
I had an hour of work to reanimate it.
Yesterday on an suse 9.1 (strato standard) i made an online update,
On several rpm's you sad me that the signature of the rpm's are bad.

On the FTP server is a mkinitrd-1.0-219.i586.rpm which actually contains mkinitrd-1.0-221 so to fix the nice graphical boot screen which was broken with mkinitrd-1.0-219 one has to remove the currently installed mkinitrd-1.0-219 and install it again from the FTP server to perform the update.
Yesterday Yast tried to do the right thing as instructed by patches/mkinitrd-51598 but failed as it was looking for mkinitrd-1.0-221.i586.rpm which did not exist. Today this patch was marked as obsolete.
The spamassassin update published today for 8.2 contains only spamassassin but no update for perl-spamassassin so I had to rebuild the source rpm to get both.
I don't know about everybody else but I personally find the standard of SuSE updates has dropped since Novell have got the fingers in the pie.
