Dear fellow Fedoreans,
I have a machine which Windows, and Fedora 9 have coexisted happily since Fedora 9 was released. I shrunk the Windows Partition a bit more and setup an empty place where I installed Fedora 11 Preview(to update it to current Fedora 11 pre or rawhide whichever gets picked up via updates)
Now I can boot windows and Fedora 11, but can't boot Fedora 9, everything is in there I can see the data, I just can't boot it. Here's output of fdisk and grub.conf for both Fedora 9 and Fedora 11?? soon to be

I have changed the rootnoverify (hd0,2) to rootnoverify (hd0,3) and have substituted 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and cannot boot. I get error 13 illegal ???
I have setup this before several times, at school I had a machine dual boot Fedora 9 and rawhide, but for some reason or another it is failing :(,
suggestions, advice, comments, are very much welcome.
Regards,
Antonio
