I've just installed suse 10.2 as well and it had a similar issue with Mepis3.4 
being left off the boot menu, but 2 installations of debian(sarge) and one of 
etch are fully noted and on the list

The odd thing is when i went to hda5, where Mepis lives, /etc/boot/menu.lst 
had disappeared. This created one or two small problems with copying the 
relevant  lines over to suses menu.lst

What i will probably have to do is look for the exact location of the kernel 
and alter a copy of one of suses lines so that it points at the Mepis kernel 
instead... I'll just go and try that while i'm in a curious mode... will 
report back later

I think it's fair to assume that something in either grub or suses install 
fails to process the more obscure (?) debian based systems menu.lst entry's. 
although deleting the mepis one for me went down like a cup of cold stuff.

 1. It overwrote the existing ubuntu grub.
 2. After reinstating the ubuntu grub and updating the menu.lst to include 
opensust, it gets halfway and fails.
 
 The approach of not installing a bootloader and updating the ubuntu one works 
fine for fc6, debian sarge and freebsd so far, so what's so special about 
opensuse?
