This is the problem, not SYSLINUX... SYSLINUX has done its job when the kernel 
is starting up. There are several things to check: first, is the 
root=/dev/rd/0 correct (haven't seen /dev/rd/0, what's this ?) ?
Second does your kernel have support for the filesystem on your root partition 
? I guess you should also try splash=none or something so you see some 
messages (you're using the bootsplash patch or a SuSE kernel source, right ?)
