Yes it does. It seems that I have to search for answers again.
I have root(hd0,x) entries different, but it works fine.
I have to see why and now is to late for any research and experiments.
If I do wrong change it will prevent booting and than I have to use
Knoppix Live CD to rever change, so I have to do that tomorrow.

The only thing that I see right now is reference to file
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-default
instead of
/boot/vmlinuz
and the same is for initrd-2.6.22.5-31-default.

See do you have symlinks vmlinuz and initrd and where they point to,
in MAIN instalation /boot directory.
If you have them on MAIN than use only /boot/vmlinuz in PLAY menu.lst
like this:

title MAIN OpenSUSE 10.3
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/sda5 splash=silent showopts
initrd /boot/initrd

Don't change the entry for PLAY for now because if there is no symlinks
it can make system unable to boot.
I have to see will 'mkinitrd' recreate symlinks, but that also tomorrow.
