The below boot error has been solved by changing the scsi Id of the internal disk to 
3. Thanks Helmut & Dieter for your support. When I do the 2.4.19 kernel upgrade I 
still get an error on boot after reading SILO

SILO boot:
Uncompressing image ...
PROMLIB: obio_ranges 5
bootmem_init: Scan sp_banks, init_bootmem(spfn[204], bpfn[204], mlpfn[c000])
free_bootmem: base[0] size [1000000]
free_bootmem: base[4000000] size [8000000]
reserve_bootmem: base[0] size [2040000]
reserve_bootmem: base[2040000] size [1800]
Booting Linux ...
Watchdog reset

(prompt) ok

During the upgrade in /boot:
System.map-2.4.19, vmlinuz (file size = 993769), vmlinuz.config, vmlinuz.shipped were 
added/updated
System.map-2.2.20 and vmlinuz.suse were deleted
silo.conf is unchanged as below


Seen this before ?

OK I re-installed suse 7.3 from a clean start to perform a clean kernel upgrade. Now 
even 7.3 won't boot this is my config

#etc/fstab
# I put the whole of / on /dev/sdb as /dev/sda is a small internal disk
/dev/sdb1       /       ext2    defaults 1 1
/dev/sda1       /boot ext2      defaults 1 2
/dev/cdrom      /media/cdrom auto (etc.)
devpts  /dev/pts        devpts defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy auto (etc.)
proc            /proc   proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2       swap    swap pri=42 0 0

By default SILO is installed in the Master Boot Record

/boot contains
System.map-2.2.20       fd.b    cd.b    first.b ieee32.b
old.b   second.b        silo.conf       siloftp.b       ultra.b
vmlinuz vmlinuz.config  vmlinuz.suse

#silo.conf
partition = 1
read-only
image=/vmlinuz
        label = linux
        root = /dev/sdb1
image=/vmlinuz.suse
        label = suse
        root = /dev/sdb1


When I boot with no arguments the error message is
ok boot
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,80000/sd@3,0
Can't find boot device


I'm thinking there could be something wrong with the partitioning I chose. Any help 
appreciated
