Boot Help. Semi-Noob, Not a Windows boot Issue

[nacho]

I currently have 2hd, On the first drive I have windows and on the second I have 2 linux installations. The First is fedora core 3 with
a /swap , /boot , / partitions and the same for the second Installation
which is Suse 9.2, which is what I installed the boot loader with. Suse
and windows boot fine, but fedora core 3 wont boot . I will post my setup
info below, help would be apperciated.

section name Fedora Core 3 (2.6.9-1.667)
Section Type image
root (hd1,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi apm=off
acpi=on rhgb quiet
initrid /initrid-2.6.9-1.667.nptl.img

Thats my boot protocols for fedora

the /boot partition for fedora is on hdb1 and the / is on hdb2

I'm using Grub.

If any other info is needed please advise so in the post.

Can you post the output of 'fdisk -l'?

Maybe I've just never seen it before, but shouldn't 'initrid' be 'initrd'?

Also, and I only say this because sometimes nano drops text to a new line, are you sure 'acpi=on rhgb quiet' is on the right line?

Oh...yeah...I missed that.

It *should* be initrd.

Other than that, everything looks fine. Make sure that entry is in your grub.conf from your /dev/hdb1. You only need one boot partition for all your Linuxes, not one for each.

I fixed that stuff and it still doesn't work. I deleted the /boot for fedora and copied the info from there into the other /boot, and fixed the initrd thing, but it still isnt working correctly, still gives me the file not found on exfts2(possible typo there). Any other possibilities would be helpful. I'm sure there is someone else out there running these two together succesfully, who can help me out.
