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:
