Description Adrian Basescu 2005-10-18 00:00:28 UTC 
Configuration - disk 0 - Linux
disk 1 - Windows

The grub configuration generated by YAST2 is not valid, it cannot boot Windows.
It si only a chainloade command. The real set of grub commands to boot Windows
from the second disk is documented wel in grub info and it start with switchisn
the order of the drives so the second drive is set to be the first so the
Windows boot can be started normally.

So YAST2 configures grub: 
chainloader +1

instead of 

map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

Attach the installation logs, please. See

for more info.

If the Yast2 installation log was not saved on hard disk, I have no logs.

OK, so I will suppose it is a duplicate of a similar bug.
