Hi,

There are several points that are worth considering here. The server has been built using the defaults from Suse Linux Enterprise Server 8.0, this has resulted in some of your problems.

I would recommend that the disk be re-partitioned to something like the following.

In addition your partition /dev/sda3 would appear to be part of the problem with the boot, it may be what is stopping grub from working. I would suggest that the disk is partitioned using fdisk and then the OS is reinstalled.

A little understanding of the sizes of the amount of space required for data and applications is required here.
