This solved the problem:
1. Booted in to my Debian system.
(idea from this forum thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/partial-success-installing-grub-error-2-643342/)

2. Did
#> grub-install /dev/sda13

where /dev/sda13 is the other distro's partition(in my case it is Fedora
Core 9) which has /boot .

3. Rebooted and selected Fedora's kernel and it worked okay.
