Thanks Mikkel,
But it does not work. However, cutting and pasting the Fedora 9 grub entries for the kernel lets me boot into Fedora 9, so practically it is a DONE deal. Thanks for answering the mail much appreciated. The chainloader stuff did not work in this case, in the other case it worked for a while, but the chainloader stuff failed to load those kernels only GRUB_ appeared on the screen so cutting+pasting the entries solved this issue.
Regards,
Antonio
