Can you mount the partition with Fedora on it?

sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdbx /mnt  replace /dev/sdbx with the correct number

If so, edit /mnt/boot/grub/grub.conf (where Fedora stores boot info)

kdesu kwrite /mnt/boot/grub/grub.conf

copy the stanza for Fedora 13’s boot and paste it into the /boot/grub/menu.lst (suse location)

kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst

If you have problems with this or need other help feel free to reply or start a new thread.

This my entry for fedora 13

###Don’t change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: Fedora###
title Fedora 13
root (hd0,7)
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst

You would need to replace the part (hd0,7) with the correct info for your system

ctadministrator@dhcppc2:~> sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /mnt

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

root’s password:
mount: /dev/sdb2 already mounted or /mnt busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb2 is mounted on /media/disk

this is what i got … and i did not unser stand

"If so, edit /mnt/boot/grub/grub.conf (where Fedora stores boot info) "
this i shoud do where inside suse??

i am sorry but where should i do this…

Get fdisk -l, not the boot partition for Fedora. Go to YaST, System, Boot and add Fedora boot partition there.

Become su in Terminal - HowTo

In the terminal do this:

 fdisk -l

I also need to see the result of these 2 codes:

cat /etc/fstab

and

cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
