[opensuse] Kernel Updates Put Bad Device Names In "/boot/grub/menu.lst"

[Randall R Schulz]

Hi,

Every installation of a kernel, including the 10.2 -> 10.3 upgrade, the 
first available and today's kernel updates have put entries like these 
in my GRUB menu.lst file (note the "root(...)" directives):

-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-

The use of "/dev/sdb1" is unacceptable to the GRUB boot loader and has 
to be replaced with these:

What is causing this and how can I fix it?
