Welcome and good to hear that. The 2 most useful grub commands are 
"update-grub" and "grub-install" You would also get it working by
"sudo grub-install /dev/sda"
as this 'grand-daddy' command will include "grub-mkdevicemap" and other 
commands as well. "grub-mkdevicemap" is just more 'surgical'. As Suse is 
installed after karmic, the mapping does not exist and needs to be created.
