Grub(boot Debian)Questino!!!


I have two linux,one is FC4,another is Debian.
FC4 installed on the first HardDisk,and Debian installed on the Second HD
I boot from the First Drive,and each HD have a grub installed.
but question came,when I use FC4'grub,I can't boot Debian,the Debian can start,but in the half time it halt( still in boot process this time...),the only thing i can do now is reboot. but when I boot from the 2nd HD,Debian works well, why???

the second situation is when I boot from the 2nd HD(Debian'Grub),It can boot Debian,FC4,FreeBSD,but can't Windows.I am so puzzle with these problem,so please solve the problem for me ,thanks!!!!

the following is the menu.list of two GRUB:
FC4:

Any error messages?
Try to edit this section in FC4's config file:
Code:
title GNU Debian Linux 3.1
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7-1-386 root=/dev/hdb1
See if it works. As for booting Windows, on which drive is it installed? You might need to use Grub's mapping function.
