(^_^)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,
(^_^)

Hmm? So I should manually change these settings?  I was almost confident
about the partitions because sda7 (swap), sda8 (root), and sda9 (home)
was correct as far as where they were on the drive itself.
