If that is not a type in email only, that explains part of it, but not the
inabillity to fall back to /def/sda2.  Question is if the disk is really
partitioned, so an examination with gparted live CD or similar would be worth
doing.  Also, even after the booting into partition fails, you may be able to
have a look what is in /dev/disk/:

ls -l  /dev/disk/by-id

This will show if the pointer, referred to by grub, exists and where it points
to.  suse usually uses the /dev/disk/by-id/xxxxxxx-part-y reference to the
partition-y, counted in the linux manner, so that reference to /dev/sda2
corresponds to hd(0,1) in grub speak.
