yes baskar , i followed you way...
but when typer "ker" in the command prompt of the ubuntu (>grub)
autocomplete of the "kernel" was successful, after that nothing appeared ,
instead i got an error message
"Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist"
similarly i tried for "initrd" , i got the same error
so what i did was i type it manually as below
"kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae root=/dev/sda10 resume=/dev/sda8
splash=silent showopts vga=0x317"
and then added one line using 'o' option
'initrd /initrd-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae'
and was able to boot into open suse 11
