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
