Linux query

Have just returned to Linux on a new 'pooter' after having it installed as part of a quadruple boot on a previous machine. Previously I used Suse 8.0 Professional - installed like a dream and the multi-boot options worked fine using System Commander as the multi OS loader.
Have now moved up to Suse 9.3 Pro and, again the loading was totally straightforward. However, although Linux opened up OK after the initial loading in GUI mode, subsequent start-ups have failed to find the Suse option, leaving me with only XP, 98SE and Dos. I can access Linux again via its boot CD, but that ends up at the command prompt login. I cannot find any sequence which will open up the GUI desktop, nor can I get System Commander to include Linux in the boot options. Any Linux 'gurus' out there to spread a little light, please?
TIA
