Tom proposed the following answer:
Lol, i'm a bit baffled to be honest but wonder if it's because it's a
protect system-file in a protected system-folder.  Presumably you can
access your data in the "202.9 GB Media"?

I think i would work-around this issue by booting into openSUSE and see
if you can edit from there?  In openSUSE get to a command-line and type
in

cd /boot/grub
ls
sudo cp menu.lst menu.lst.040809-Suse
ls
gedit menu.lst

and paste the contents of that menu.ls into here.  Ok, so i am not sure
that gedit is the standard text-editor in openSUSE but it probably is
there although you might know of another text editor that might work
more easily in openSUSE?  I am also not sure that the "sudo" command
works so you might need to do

su
cp menu.lst menu.lst.040809-Suse

instead of "sudo cp menu.lst menu.lst.040809-Suse" although if you do then i would close their terminal console straight away afterwards and then open a new one to continue

Anyway, good luck and regards from
