Michael,
If you haven't already tried what Sebastian suggested, you might also
try specifying the partition number in before /boot, for example: boot
-file 1/boot/vmlinuz.gz, where 1 is the partition number on which /boot
resides. If he is correct about Yast creating a third a small partition
for /boot, then maybe it's not on the partition that you expected. Try
all combinations from 0 to 3 and you should eventually hit it.
I have a Digital 433au and 600au workstation with SuSE7.1-kernel2.2
running on it, but I could never get it to boot into the 2.4 kernal, so
I'. Let me know how it works for you.
