FC2-SuSE stage1 error (dual boot) using grub

[Davno]

Hi, I just installed SuSE on the same HD (other partition) with FC2 first using grub. Each with its own /boot and not overwriting grub.conf of FC2. I ended up with the grub prompt at boot-up. I fixed that with re-intalling grub of my FC2 with the command (root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0).then i went to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and at reboot i end up with this error...
kernel (hd0,5)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hd5 vga=0x317 splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hda3 showopts
error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios.
I tried a fiew time and always endup with the same error.
Do you know where i goofed. :o

there is no device '/dev/hd5'
maybe u mean '/dev/hda5'

but its just a typo error on my post... I can boot in FC2 no problem its booting in SuSE the problem. hda5 is Suse, hda8 suse /boot and hda3 is swap used by both linux.

The sure way for it to work is to cut and paste the relevant lines from /boot/grub/menu.lst off the Suse partition. That is what I found with my multi-system.

However being lazy I found it is a bother to get everything exact and so I would just chainload Suse if it were a Windows by typing

title this is my suse
root (hdo,4)
chainloader +1

It will work if your Suse partion is in hda5.

You may have been confused by Grub's counting from zero while Linux starts from 1.

Your original (hd0,5) would cause Grub to search hda6!

I chainload all of my 5 Linux with XP this way. In chainloading you actually get the full menu of Suse ( all its bootable choices collected including FC2). If this is a bother to you just reduce the parameter in the timeout statement.
