Can't figure out what the trouble is, filesystems mismatch, like you
can't use a jfs HD backed up from an ext3 HD? grub is the same on both

I think that this is reason.
If initrd not contain jfs driver module, it can not to boot. Your
should boot jfs system
using rescue and execute mkinitrd. Other ways its not so easy.
Any ideas?

Issue is not so easy, because it seems that originally in openSuse
10.3 is
not support for jfs. Perhaps it is easier boot without initrd if jfs
support is
compiled into kernel.
Thanks, that's worth a try.

I booted from DVD and chrooted /dev/sdb1. Rebuilt the kernel with jfs
built-in. With the "initrd" line commented out ---
VFS: Cannot open root device
"disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_MAXTOR_STM35006_6QG0YKMR-part1 or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option, here are the available
partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs or
unknown-block(0,0).
When I executed the "mkinitrd", I got a message for each kernel in menu.lst:
WARNING: GRUB:: GrubPath2UnixPath: Path /boot/2.6.24-rc3-git5-smp in
UNIX form, not modifying it.
I also tried using /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab and in menu.lst with the same
result. fsck.jfs says the partition is clean.
just noticed something and wonder if that could be it, but neither is
ext3 there. I have put a line "jfs" in /etc/filesystems for a try
perhaps later.
# cat /etc/filesystems
vfat
hfs
minix
reiserfs
