Understandable. At first sight itseems that there are problems with
the initrd. Can you please boot SuSE, mount the Ubuntu partition to e.
g. /mnt and do

  ls -lR /mnt/boot  > /tmp/files-mntboot.txt

and send us /tmp/files-mntboot.txt as well as /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst?

Sure, you can copy the debs from there to e. g. your SuSE partition,
reinstall and copy them back later.

Hmm, we want to keep the One-CD approach and don't want to spend the
whole space already in the first release. Since you don't need any of
these packages for normal desktop usage, we won't ship them on the CD.
