Always when I hibernate OpenSuse I start the PC automatically OpenSuse, but I want to start sometimes Windows, how can I configurate it that it normally starts GRUB?
I’m not sure I can make sense of this.
You seem to want to hibernate suse and possibly boot windows when coming out?
Don’t do it!
Mmm I would do some googling here, more so as I don’t hibernate.
But my understanding hibernate isn’t the same as reboot, you never enter grub. You can pass parameters to grub to tell which one to boot i.e like suse logout.
BUT Suse logout does not = hibernate, afaik when you hibernate you write the apps to disk and power off when you un-hibernate it doesn’t reboot as such but re-instates the apps running.
I suspect some of the specifics may be slightly wrong but the over view may help you understand there is 2 different things happening. Hibernate afaik never goes near boot and certainly I wouldn’t of thought looks at menu.lst.
But with Windows it works
If I hibernate Windows GRUB starts and I can choose OpenSuse without problems.
I already googled, but there was no solution
I seem to recall reading horror stories on this, but I may be wrong. Nevertheless, I can’t for the life of me understand why you would want to do this anyway. It make no sense.
Yeah, that’s because the one that controls the booting is Linux (Grub). When you hibernate Suse it changes Grub so it boots from your swap partition instead of root.
But if you do what you say, hibernating Windows and then booting to Suse, I’d say you shouldn’t, at all, access the windows partition from Suse.

That has worked until now without any problem.
Is there really no possibility for OpenSuse?
Another problem with booting both SUSE and Windows (in my case Vista) is that somehow, if you want to hibernate on Windows, it doesn’t let you do it. You need to have your win partition as “bootable”. So go to CFDISK, where if you experience the same problem as I do, will find that the linux partition has the “boot” flag, so change it, and set the Windows partition as “boot”…and there you go…
