I thought that you could not have 2 different boot loaders on the same machine like that?
Not at all, you can have for example grub on the Master Boot Record and lilo on the boot record of hda1, the NT boot loader on the boot record of hda2, the Solaris boot loader on hda3 etc. Lots of possibilities, and since the boot record isn't part of any one installation, there is no way to determine which one is there without examining the actual contents of the boot record the dd command that Dan gave himself in his original post should do the trick. SuSE's /sbin/new-kernel-pkg only checks for installed packages. The dd should be more reliable.
