The vmlinuz file location seems to have changed, and hence grub can't find it. Did you install any drive or create a new partition lately or change the drive sequence (master/slave)? This could have made the (hd0,1) point to the wrong partition/drive.
Yes, you can access the root of the installation with a live cd. What you should do after booting with the live Cd is edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file in the installation root directory or it is more easier to set the drive to the earlier order - it has to be the first hard disk (hd0) when checked in the BIOS.
Note: SLE is out of date now, is it even still supported? As you are running a commercial distro, I presume you have purchased support? If so, then you have an update waiting for you. If you prefer to have free support, it seems logical to use a free distro. OpenSUSE is pretty good if you like SLED.
Certainly you are supposed to have a grub.conf or a menu.lst in /boot/grub ... but, you have not explained how you are accessing your HDD boot partition if GRUB dosn't work. There are several ways.
You are getting funny results for "I tried to do an update through YaST". I don't want to assume that what you have done is what I think you have done. You have to tell me.
Looks like your installed kernel is 2.6.22.5-31-default
Have you tried the repair option from the install media?

I use an OpenSuse Live CD to boot. Every results was made using OpenSuse Terminal

What I did in Yast was to set up Automatically Updates. I was doing this remote, over Ssh.

I don't have access to install media. There aren't such CDs here.
