Why is this so? I think it may be because you're trying to chainload to a partition with -I256 formatting and the Grub loading your master menu.lst only knows -I128 legacy. Is your OpenSUSE older than 11.0? If not, updating your master Grub to 11.0's version should fix you up, or maybe you need even newer Grub from SUSE Factory. Or, you could specifically specify -I128 on a fresh format to reinstall Rawhide. Or, you could switch your master Grub to Rawhide's version, which uses grub.conf instead of menu.lst. -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain."
