Not clear how/why Suse might see things differently, but I have seen cases where grub saw different device orderings at boot-time than on the running system - one with both IDE and SCSI controllers. ATA/SATA is probably a similar case. Had to do a lot of detective work with "find <filename>", "cat (hdX)/grub/grub.conf", "cat (hdY)/etc/fstab", and similar stuff at the grub command prompt in both modes to figure it out. Hard to offer specific advice on debugging without all the gory details. I see several recent threads on Chuck Forsberg problems, but if the info is there, I'm missing it.
