I would agree with this, but would also suggest that using the current 
SUSE/Novell rpms (from forge.novell.com) would be a more promising 
way of getting this stuff to work than the method outined in the original 
post.

The problems are unlikely to be directly hardware-related.  

The error "Waiting for device..." typically means that there's something wrong 
with the initrd (which on SUSE contains encoded information about the root 
partition).
