I was using Win XP with FC5 and wanted to install Ubuntu as well.
So i deleted the FC5 partition (just for the fun of doing it) and
installed ubuntu straight from the live cd V6.10.
And my laptop dual booted perfectly with XP.
After that i installed FC5 and during the creation of boot loader i
added XP and Ubutu as well from there respective partitions.
But then triple boot failed.
This is the message i get when selected ubuntu from Fedora Core 5 Grub Menu
-----------------------------------
Booting 'ubuntu'
rootnoverify (hd0,6)
chainloadre +1
Error 13: Invalid or Unsupported executable format.
Press any key to continue
so how can i fix this problem and tripple boot my laptop.

XP - NTFS
ubuntu - reiserfs
FC5 - Ext3

In the Ubuntu OS, you need to install its boot loader into the partition
that you have the ubuntu boot loader located in.
For example: I had to run grub-install /dev/hdb1 to chainload another
installation from within the installation that had grub installed in
that location, I don't know if it is a spelling difference such as
British compared to US spelling, but chainloader +1 instead of
chainlodre + 1 might be the problem with the setup.
There was also a problem related to reiserFS with grub in the past. I
think that this factor should not matter. It might be solved already.
