I added the Mythbuntu part

Log in to Opensuse as root and run command, fdisk -l (lower case letter L) to find where your Mythbuntu is. If it's on the first partition of the second drive it would be sdb1 which is equal to (hd1,0) in Grub. Use:
root (hd1,0) in that case, make necessary changes if it is not. Grub starts counting from zero.

You will need the vmlinuz and initrd entries from Mythbuntu to add to the root entry (similar to your Opensuse entries). Create a directory in Opensuse: mkdir /mnt/mythbuntu, then mount it: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mythbuntu. You should then be able to use Konqueror (or whatever file manager you use) to browse to the /boot/grub/menu.lst of Mythbuntu to get the correct entries from that file to copy to the Opensuse menu.lst.

Thanks for your reply I ended up just deleting Mythbuntu and adding Mythtv to opensuse

Now I have another question, what is the command to automatically mount kubuntu ?
or do I have to mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/Kubuntu every time Iwant to have access to those files?
