[PLUG] Problem With Grub on Multi-Boot System

I have Grub on a multi-boot system that refuses to boot Fedora 13.
I installed Fedora 13 and created a menu for Windows, openSuse 11.3
and Fedora 13. When  the system attempted to read the MBR it came back
with a Read error. 
I then revereted back to the old MBR using dd. I added the
instructions for booting Fedora 13 and receive a error 25 or error 17.

I have checked to make sure that all the files exist in hd1,1
but still Fedora won't boot with this grub menu.

Here is my Grub Menu.lst file used with opensuse:
# Modified by YaST2. Last modification on Thu Jul 22 18:39:31 PDT 2010
# THIS FILE WILL BE PARTIALLY OVERWRITTEN by perl-Bootloader
# Configure custom boot parameters for updated kernels
in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader

default 0
timeout 8
gfxmenu (hd0,6)/boot/message
##YaST - activate
