Hi. Read about that the other day. The suse installation apparently writes over the grub installation, and doesn't include other systems. ( quite rude of them, if you ask me... )
Your Ubuntu should still be there, but you will have to re-build your grub. I'm not game to try and tell you how, because I am not that sure of it myself.

You will need your Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD/USB & follow the instructions. This will restore GRUB 2 to MBR.
