    Are you booting from the Grub bootloader in Opensuse? If that is the case, you need an entry in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file of Opensuse for Fedora. To get the correct entry, log into Opensuse as root and create a mount point for Fedora:

    Code:
    mkdir /mnt/Fedora
    After doing that mount Fedora
    Code:
    mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /mnt/Fedora
    (You may want to run fdisk -l command to determine which partition to put in the mount command as sda3 may not be right. You indicate two other partitions so I am just assuming)

    Once you get it mounted, change directories to Fedora to the /boot/grub/grub.conf file:
    Code:
    cd /mnt/Fedora/boot/grub/
    cat menu.lst
    Then copy the entry for Fedora to the Opensue menu.lst file.
