debian & fedora together

Gentlemen:

	Things are getting a little trickier today. So far, on one test computer, I 
have debian on hda1 and fedora3 on hda3. Each one demands that it write grub 
to the MBR.

	If I allow debian to write the MBR, then Fedora doesnt boot. Similarly if I 
let Fedora write to the MBR, then Debian doesnt boot.

	After going back and forth for a while, I have Debian to where it will boot 
and Fedora to where it will almost boot.

	Fedora displays an unusual message right after md: ... autorun DONE.

EXT2-fs warning (device hda3): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as 
ext2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
Freeing unused kernel memory: 144k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console
SELinux: Disabled at runtime.
SELinux: Unregistering netfilter hooks

And the Fedora boot hangs forever at this point.

Would anyone be willing to suggest a next step or two?

Charles
