I logged a similar bug, in fact sounds like the same thing against
OpenSUSE 10 RC1 here :

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=116333

According to the last comments it should of been fixed in grub-0.97-3,
im not sure which version of Grub ships with the current SUSE 10.1
Beta's ?

The 2 Current work around's Im aware of are as has been mentioned use
Lilo which works fine. Or as I do create a separate small (200mb) /boot
partition at the start of your HDD and get grub to boot from this. I
actually do this now on all my Linux install's regardless of the Distro
to avoid running into the problem again.

Regards,

Gareth.
