Default GRUB problem in triple booting


I installed Fedora 7, Ubuntu 7.04 and Windows XP. The GRUB is of Ubuntu and Fedora does not boot. it returns a "Kernel Panic. Attempt to Kill INIT." error. The kernel and other packages are up to date.
Here is my menu.lst entry for Fedora (there is no grub.conf file)

Code:
title           Fedora 7
root            (hd1,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd          /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img

LABEL=/ may be changed?try booting with the line changed as below:
Code:
title           Fedora 7
root            (hd1,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=/dev/sdb1 rhgb quiet
initrd          /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img
put the correct device file name (/dev/sdb1?)
if that too doesnt help,probably partition order changed or do u have separate /boot partn.

Try changing the title to just Fedora.

Naah.. But i read somewhere that it takes the 7 up as runlevel and tries to boot into runlevel 7!

what is run level 7


there is a problem with fiesy7 distro, so install fedora7 after fiesty and install grub of fedora this may solve your problem, same thing was observed on open solaris forums.

kalpik and praka123 were both right. actually, GRUB recognised the 7 as runlevel 7 (which doesnt exist) and tried to boot, which caused the error changing the tile to Fedora and sdb1 worked perfectly

thnx all of u for ur replies.
