Probably there is an error in the menu.lst file.
I did the following in a live Fedora.
Reaching the grub menu only to get an error like this means there is some type of error which usually can be worked around by using the Grub command shell. When the menu appears, escape out of the graphical menu first, then exit the text menu to reach the command prompt in the manner shown to you below the entries the text menu is showing. You'll then be greeted by a Grub prompt:
grub>
Try the following:
grub> root (hd1,5)
grub> kernel /boot/vmlinux root=/dev/sdb6 noresume splash=verbose vga=791
This produces Error 15: File not found
grub> initrd /boot/initrd
Unsurprisingly therefore, this gets Error 27:Unrecognized command
grub> boot
If that doesn't get you booted, try substituting from your best recollection whatever is correct for the various (xx#,#) parameters and kernel parameters.
If still no go, you can get clues via Grub's command line completion, allowing it to show you what kernel and/or initrd(s) it can find. Start thus:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,5) (hd1,5) as expected.
which will show whatever locations it can find it, which will be locations where menu.lst should be, and which should be the child of any /boot containing installed kernels and initrds. Maybe the HD on which SUSE is actually located for some reason is not coming up as sdb6/(hd1,5). If stage 1 is where you expect it, try:
grub> kernel /boot/vmli<tab>
That got only the usual action of the Tab key, it didn't try to autocomplete anything.
and report back what happens if from the above you can't get any SUSE booted.
