Please i want your kind help on the following problem:
I,ve installed FEDORA CORE 3 on on a pc with 1 Hd.Grub installed the loader to the Root HD1 partition.On top othis i installed debian sarge and grub installed the loader to the MBR.
Now the bootsplash shows also the fedora but but cannot boot it. I can only boot debian.The debian menu.lst is as follows:
menu.lst - See: grub(, info grub, update-grub(
# grub-install(, grub-floppy(,
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
default 0

## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 5

# Pretty colours
color cyan/blue white/blue

## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
# password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/
# password topsecret

# examples

# title Windows 95/98/NT/2000
# root (hd0,0)
# makeactive
# chainloader +1
#
# title Linux
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro
#

#
# Put static boot stanzas before and/or after AUTOMAGIC KERNEL LIST

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specifiv kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
# kopt=root=/dev/hda5 ro

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,4)

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=true

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false

## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(recovery mode) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all

## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true

## ## End Default Options ##

"ONCE A DEBIAN FRIEND ALWAYS A FRIEND"

where are your partitions exactally? is hda5 debian, and hda1 fedora? either way, try hitting c when grub boots and try booting it manually.. you will have to define where the root, then wehre the kernel is, then boot. if you can do that, then you may be able to find out what is wrong with the config file. grub commands have tab completion so if you say

kernel /dev/hda1/

and hit tab, it will give the directories available then try

kernel /dev/hda1/boot

and hit tab till you find the kernel.. then try booting...

ou mgiht also try

man grub

whe you aer in debian.

Thank you for your reply
Fedora is in Root HDA1 partition and debian is on HDA5 parttiion MBR

Edong23 thank you.I tryied it but Not working.i,m taking
Kernel panic=not syncing=attempt to kill init

Any one to help please?
