I'm trying not to top-post, so hopefully it will be
easier to read and understand.
Okay, well, I did a complete reinstall again and this
is what Yast built for me:

The device.map is now the way it should be according

My grub.conf is still the same.
Unfortunately, its the same result. In order to boot
Linux, I have to use the "boot installed system"
option from either the rescue or installation on the
CD and select /dev/sda6 as the boot partition. If I
do that, it comes up just fine. If I select "OpenSuSE
10.2" from the menu booting without the CD, I get a
black screen and it sits there.
