Hmm, strange. I just installed WXP on a disk, reserving some room for
Linux, and then proceeded to install SuSE 9.1 on the remaining space,
accepting SuSE defaults for partitioning and boot setup. Ended up with
grub boot menu that lets me boot Windows or Linux (and then the regular
extra choices of failsafe boot and memtest). No problems whatsoever.
Disk is regular IDE (though hung off of a HPT370 controller, but not
in any RAID mode, just a regular single disk).
