After the exchange of my hd0 hard-disk I had to remove manually the existence of the old drive. I remember that I used midnight commander to find all places that mentioned the old drive.
Do you use a separate /boot that was not mounted at the time? In any event, you missed one.
The new drive is working properly but at boot or in case I install the latest kernel I get the message:
Perl-Bootloader: 2011-08-05 17:38:09 ERROR: GRUB::GrubDev2UnixDev: did not find a match for hd0 in the device map
Is there an automatic method to get rid of this message?

I reckoned that the
system would do a self-repair after partitioning and such.
device.map got me last week too: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-07/msg00422.html
Thanks, I was there just now and the repair is done. Not reading the factory list so I missed it. Thought originally that if the hardware information from Yast which shows the correct hard disk would do automatically a update. Well manual work is also fun ;).
It's hard for stuff like that to be both automatic and safe. There are several ways to set up grub and no one way is best. The same scheme that would be safest and be the most successfully automatic for one user, will be instant death for another user.
ignoring or re-writing things you entered in some places.
Yes there's a lot of room for improvement but it's still reasonable to leave a change like you had up to you to adjust instead of trying to do it automatically.
