Before adding entry to ubuntu's menu.lst, just try the following from the
ubuntu grub console to get into opensuse 11.0
While being in ubuntu grub menu, press `c' to get to command prompt,
grub>
now type
grub>kernel (hd0,5)/(press tab twice here to see the kernel and initrd files
which is under opensuse 11.0 /boot partition (/dev/sda6) and
select)/vmlinuz-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae root=/dev/sda10
your opensuse 11.0 kernel loads successfully here, and now type
grub>initrd (hd0,5)/initrd-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae (here also press tab twice for auto
completion)
then, type
grub>boot
to boot into opensuse 11.0 and confirm its booting, then put these entries in
ubuntu's menu.lst.
title openSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.5-1.1

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae root=/dev/sda10 resume=/dev/sda8
