Hi Christopher,
If /etc/fstab is correct, the partitions you're concerned with vis a vis grub
are as follows:
/dev/sda6 = '/' = (hd0,5)
/dev/sda5 = swap = (hd0,4)
From your (edited) latest /boot/grub/menu.lst:

--> '0' here means the first item in the boot menu is the default
(grub starts counting at zero)

--> 8 seconds before the menu times out and the default is booted

--> this mapping ('gfxmenu' -> 'device/directory/file') is working if the boot
menu appears without using the installation CD/DVD

--> these look correct *as long as* the following are true:
'/' = /dev/sda6 = (hd0,5)
and
swap = /dev/sda5 = (hd0,4)
The only way for this configuration to *not* boot is if YaST has
misinterpreted your partitioning scheme when writing it.
Please boot into SUSE using your CD/DVD, open a shell, 'su' to superuser
permissions, run 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' and copy/paste to post the results here.
regards,
Carl
