Debian rather than Suse, but I had trouble with an upgrade involving
grub where I had the old grub installed in the MBR so it was picking
up my old menu.lst configuration instead of the new grub.cfg. I also
had trouble with the naming of drives changing which caused great
confusion. Could either of those be your problem?
