Triple Boot issue
Hello All,
I am trying to Triple boot a system. One hard drive with three partitions. Partition one has Win2K, partition two has Fedora Core7.0, and partition three has open SuSe 10.3. I am using GRUB boot loader, bot I am unable to get both Linux distros to boot off the boot loader. When I use the GRUB loader that came with the Fedora distro, I can boot Win2K and Fedora, but not Suse. When I use the SuSe GRUB loader, I can boot Win2k and SuSe. I have tried to manually add the Fedora to the SuSe GRUB loader to no avail, and I have tried to add the SuSe to the Fedora GRUB boot loader. It seems to me that this should be a straight forward fix. Although both distros are using GRUB, the settings for GRUB in each distro is different. As follows:
SuSe GRUB configuration:
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-default root=/dev/disk/bu-id/scsi-SATA_ST3250310AS_5RY0Q373-part3 vga=0x31a splash=silent showopts
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.22.5-31-default
Fedora GRUB configuration:
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/xen.qz-2.6.20-2925.9.fc7
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-2925.9.fc7xen ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
module /boot/initrd-2.6.20-2925.9.fc7xen.img
When I try to replicate the configurations in the others configuration, GRUB says that there is an unknown command. Anyone have any advice out there?
Thanks in advance!!

Solved
See, you guys are so great, you don't even need to post anything to solve the problem!!! Kidding aside, I solved this by having Fedora load it's bootloader at the begining of it's partition. Then I set the SeSu to chain load to that partition. Post if you would like more detail.
