My guesses: either a bad kernel image or your kernel needs an
initrd.

It depends on the kernel image. If it doesn't have the right
defaults for ro/root set in it, then these options may be
needed. Don't know about SuSe, but most RH kernels need them
(last time I checked).

If not, you'd get an error message from grub and the kernel
would never get loaded.
