GRUB problems with SUSE 10.3

I am having trouble installing GRUB under SUSE 10.3 (final version released this week). I want to install it into my /dev/sdb6 partition, which is where I installed SUSE. I don' t want to install it into the MBR because I already have another boot manager there. This is the first time that I have trouble installing GRUB under SUSE and I suspect it's something related to this new version 10.3. I particularly do not understand why SUSE keeps referring to my sdb6 partition as sdb6,5. Any ideas?

Some data:

1) Output of the command "grub-install /dev/sdb6":
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    GNU GRUB  version 0.97  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

 [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, TAB
   lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
   completions of a device/filename. ]
