Right, so ATM I have Vista and Ubuntu installed, Vista at sda1, Ubuntu at sda5 and Linux swap at sda6 (logical partitions). I'd like to try other Linux OSes too so I installed OpenSuse 11.1 to sda7 and made sure it didn't change the bootloader as I didn't want Ubuntu to disappear from grub. I understand I have to modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to add Suse and I've managed up to a certain point - Suse starts to boot and text scrolls but it freezes half way down at 'Starting HAL daemon'. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the way I've configured GRUB or if it's a problem with the OS itself. Firstly, what should I have in menu.lst for Suse (to make sure it's correct) this is what I have so far (not sure what the value after vga should be for 1680*1050 if it matters):
title Suse 11.1
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 ro quiet splash vga=794
initrd /boot/initrd
