Very likely you will see this in /var/log/YaST2/y2log:
"Exclude eth0 from bridge slaves because of nfsroot."

eth0 is misconfigured with STARTMODE=nfsroot due to bnc#677251
You can fix it by selecting:
Overview; eth0: Edit; General tab; Activate Device: At Boot Time

If I'm wrong, reopen and attach the logs: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bugreport_YaST
