Now that you mention it, I AM having trouble with grub, since I initially installed SUSE. When I initially install SUSE Linux 9.1 Professional 32-Bit (When it was first released) I accidentally installed the system in /dev/hde10, then did a re-install to /dev/hde6. Somehow, grub continued to see /dev/hde10 as the boot-location. Now, whenever I do a Kernel update, it tries to update the boot-related files in /dev/hde10. My system still boot up, as long as I don't try to use YaST to update the Kernel. When I use YaST to update the Kernel, boot-loader re-install poops on my boot configuration. I then have to manually fix the boot-related configuration files so my system will boot up properly. It may be related to the issue I'm having with the upgrade to 64-Bit SUSE Linux.
Here is the "text" version of the installation screen when I boot from the SUSE 64-Bit DVD:

Here are my current boot-related files (Grub):

/boot/grub/menu.lst
