Well, your configuration is a little unconventional. What I take from
all of this is that you have a kernel in /dev/hda5 that you always
always want to use; extrapolating from your configuration below,
that's probably your SuSE /boot partition. I'd rewrite some of these,
though:
> title linux
> kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 vga=791
> initrd (hd0,4)/initrd
title linux
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 vga=791
initrd /initrd
(Since you specify a root for GRUB, it implicitly uses that partition,
/dev/hda5, for files it looks for.)
> title debian3.0
> kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb5
"Boot from the kernel on /dev/hda5, without an initrd, and have it use
/dev/hdb5 as the root partition." Are you sure you don't mean:
title debian3.0
root (hd1,4)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb5
initrd /initrd.img
> title slackware9.0
> kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb2
title slackware9.0
root (hd1,1)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb2

You might, uh, try to trim the signature a little, or find a more
reputable mail provider. As much as Hotmail sucks, they put less than
four lines of ad on outgoing messages.
