fedora (FC5) is on hda (master), hdb (slave) has windows 2000 and gentoo.

I'm only unable to boot gentoo.  When booting gentoo here's the error 
message:

Booting "gentoo"
map () ()
map () ()
root (hd1,1)

filesystem type is ext3fs, partion type is 0x83
chainloader +1


error 13:  Invalid or unsupported executable format.


press any key to continue...



and here's my /boot/grub/grub.conf from hda:

Not sure why there's not /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub/grub.conf file, but I took 
down what I believe the correct info is, kernel and so forth, in order to 
boot gentoo.

chainloader (hd1,0)+1

The map commands and chainloaders are almost certainly not necessary.  Try:

title Gentoo
    kernel (hd1,1)/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5
root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hdb4
    initrd (hd1,1)/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5

HTH,

Progress :)

New error message:

checking root filesystem
fsc ext3:  No such device or address while trying to open /dev/hda4

Possibly non existen or swap device?

* fileystem couldn't be fixed

Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue).


dismounting filesystem
rebooting

I don't think it's a problem with grub per se, but that hdb used to be 
hda, which is why there's an error regarding the filesystem of hda.

Gentoo needs to be "informed", I think, that it's on hdb now.

Fix /etc/fstab.  Replace all /dev/hda with /dev/hdb.
