I followed the instructions below, and fixed my installation. Booted into SUSE just fine. The problem occurs when you boot into Windows, and then restart. After this, you get the continuous Dell POST loop. Just an FYI, in case anyone has another solution. Thanks again in advance.
I logged a similar bug, in fact sounds like the same thing against OpenSUSE 10 RC1 here :

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.
