Hi, thanks for report. At first I think that it doesn't work because your debian doesn't have own boot part on sda1 ( so partition MBR is empty). This cause we cannot chainload to partition.
No, SuSE deleted my MBR, the GRUB2 of debian what there. (I reported this bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=650653)
Second option is point to your menu.lst on your debian ( this method is create menu section), but YaST2 doesn't found it. Do you have on your debian file /boot/grub/menu.lst ? Or you use lilo?
I have GRUB2, configuration file I attached.
We doesn't add directly debian kernel because we cannot update it when debian update (e.g. via security update) its kernel.
OK, I understand. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Seems that it is working this way, thank you!
Good, thanks for testing. If you thing we need better cooperation with GRUB2 then please fill feature request, so my managers could consider it.
