Hi Antonio Olivares!
I am not sure what you mean.
If you are asking how to get rid of the chainloader then I
would say
take a look at the grub.conf in the Fedora 9 partition
(likely at
/boot/grub/grub.conf) and copy the boot stanza into your
currently
used grub.conf. To make it the default you can place it in
the first
position (current default=0) or change the
"default=" setting.
You of course can change the default to be any of the
kernels in your
grub.conf by either changing the position of thier stanza
or otherwise
pointing "default=" to them.
I see no mention of 2.6.26.5? I do see several 2.6.27...
I would
guess you are having trouble with the most recent one
(vmlinuz-2.6.27-0.382.rc8.git4.fc10.i686). If you, for
example,
change "default=0" to "default=1" then
it will default boot
vmlinuz-2.6.27-0.377.rc8.git1.fc10.i686.
To troubleshoot the boot process press escape during the
"splash"
screen. If it appears to fail at X try a CTL+ALT+F1
(should go to a
tty terminal login screen) and view the contents of
/var/log, such as
messages, dmesg, Xorg.0.log, etc... You may well find some
hints of
what is going on. You can also view these after a failed
boot by
mounting the partition where the kernel exists and looking
at
/var/log. Dmesg contains a lot of stuff that happens
during boot, and
/var/log/boot.log should as well.
I hope I have been helpful. Good Hunting!!

I have solved it already, I added the lines along with the new 2.6.26.25-?? Fedora 9
kernel.
+ this one.

I had only the Fedora 10 Beta kernels booting, but then I manually added the entries with
the old kernels and I can boot them. the 2.6.26.3 kernel booted via chainloader, but the
new one did not :( but has been fixed. Running both Rawhide and Fedora 10 Beta! Awesome
:)
Thanks for the tip though. It is a keeper in case disaster strikes again.

Antonio
