Loading OSX into grub

First i want to appologize if this is a repeat post i have see this issue several times on many forums but i have yet to see a solution that has worked for me
I am Tripple booting MS windows XP pro, Fedora 9, Mac os X 10.5.4

This is a my grub.conf file.

also my partitions are as follows
HD0,0 Windows XP
HD0,1 Linux
HD0,2 Mac OS X

Both the windows and the linux installs work fine. however the osx will give me the error message #13

any help would be appreacated...
thank you

cause no else chipped in here

maybe you could try and use the mapping thingy in grub?
I used it when I had Norton Go Back on my Windows install and it work great.

Best of Luck,

I'll try to look up where I read about this, Jim something?

Code:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda5
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.26.5-28.fc8)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.5-28.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/
	initrd /initrd-2.6.26.5-28.fc8.img

title Fedora (2.6.26.3-14.fc8)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.3-14.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/
	initrd /initrd-2.6.26.3-14.fc8.img

title Windows_2k
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader --force +1
The tircky part is map

This is in info grub
Code:
13.3.23 map
-----------

 -- Command: map to_drive from_drive
     Map the drive FROM_DRIVE to the drive TO_DRIVE. This is necessary
     when you chain-load some operating systems, such as DOS, if such
     an OS resides at a non-first drive. Here is an example:

          grub> map (hd0) (hd1)
          grub> map (hd1) (hd0)

     The example exchanges the order between the first hard disk and the
     second hard disk. See also *Note DOS/Windows::.
Best of Luck,
Pat Jr.

If you install OS X again, MAKE SURE you're installing the bootloader to that partition. Also, if you did that, perhaps you didn't install a kernel right?
