I'm no "guru" but this is a known problem, particularly in cases where you're 
using YaST to install/configure grub on a system with many partitions and 
multiple operating systems. The bottom line is you have to double check the 
configuration it writes before accepting and allowing it to be installed.

**Watch out for simple partition mapping errors** like 
calling /dev/hdb7 'hd1,7' in "grub speak" (should be 'hd1,6').

Really... it's as simple as that. You let it calculate/suggest the 
configuration and, before committing it to disk, find and fix these little 
problems.

hth & regards,

Carl
