I am new to this forum as i have installed suse 11.2 now. I am using ubuntu from a long time so decided to try other distro along with karmic. I had lost ubuntu grub after suse installation. Suse bootloader doesnt detect ubuntu partiton. I had tried to edit grub list but failed. I have added following ubuntu details to suse bootloader

Can you check the file /boot/grub/menu.lst after booting up openSUSE?

The entry you used first was seeking Ubuntu on sda3, kind of mixed up cos it’s on sda6.
