I did as you suggested, but I don't get any additional messages, it's the exact same 
thing.

How much freespace do you have for files placed in /var/tmp/?  Is it
possible you are about full?

Looking at /sbin/mkinitrd, it looks like SuSE first makes one initrd
(20480k), populates it, then figures out how much it REALLY needs.  It
creates a second initrd of the "really needed" size, then copies
everything over.  Your error is during that last copy part, indicating
that the second initrd really isn't big enough.  Either mkinitrd's
img_size calculation on line 1058 is wrong, or you run out of room while
creating the new one.

At line at 1061 which is:

dd if=/dev/zero of=$tmp_initrd_small bs=1k count=$img_size 2>/dev/null

Can you remove the "2>/dev/null" portion of that, run mkinitrd again and
see if you get any "No space left on device" errors?
