Por cierto, tengo un problema con el GRUB2, es una insignificancia
pero por curiosidad, ¿alguien lo tiene funcionando en OpenSUSE ?

openSUSE, de momento, en la versión 11.2, no va a dar soporte "oficial"
a Grub2 -no va a preparar paquetes- lo cual me parece una decisión
acertada.

No switch to GRUB 2 in openSUSE 11.2

While Ubuntu is switching later this year, openSUSE currently has no
plans to switch to GRUB 2 in its next release, version 11.2. Andreas
Jaeger explains this:

Experience with GRUB and LILO showed that there are many subtle ways
that can break and therefore a change will need really good testing.
GRUB 2 is not released yet, and the latest alpha version was released
more than a year ago - nothing that gives much confidence into the
stability of the code and the interfaces from my perspective for the
moment. However, I applaud Ubuntu for taking this risk - and in the
same way helping to move GRUB 2 forward to a stable release.

Jaeger is right that GRUB 2 is not entirely ready. For example, some
GRUB Legacy functionality isn't yet supported in GRUB 2: it doesn't
have boot password support yet, and the savedefault functionality which
saves the current menu entry as the default entry doesn't work
properly.

According to Jaeger, the openSUSE developers have so far not received a
single request to move to GRUB 2. But if somebody volunteers to
maintain the package and integrate it in openSUSE, he welcomes it to
give it some testing and then decide if it can be used for future
releases. He adds that support for GRUB 2 doesn't mean only a new
package, but also changes the way the boot loader setup is
automatically generated by openSUSE's system management tool YaST.

Quien lo quiera instalar lo tendrá que hacer por su cuenta y riesgo.
Personalmente no recomendaría instalarlo en openSUSE mientras no esté
soportado.
