take out the chainloader command. what that does is transfer execution to another bootloader in (hdd0,5), but there won't be a boot loader there.

you are wanting to boot the kernel, not another bootloader.

Also, Suse's boot kernel is a vmlinuz - perhaps I need to compress one for Gentoo to refer Suse's Grub to?
