Fedora Core 9 is installed at /dev/sdb5,
i have change the menu.lst like this

Code:

title           Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=50887d10-1498-421f-95b3-bf94b5202524 ro quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic
quiet

title Fedora (2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686)
       root (hd1,4)
       kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686 ro rhgb quiet
       initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686.img

when i select fedora core at grub menu, i got this error

Code:

Starting up

You need a "root=UUID=..." option in Fedora's kernel line, just like you have in the Ubuntu kernel line. Find the uuid of the fedora partition (using blkid) and add a root= option to the Fedora kernel line.
