Or not, if he instaled grub from ubuntu on ubuntu partition.
Then
chainloader makes sense!

You are right

I have exactly that on my Desktop
I have the grub of FC5 on the MBR,
then i have grub on the Ubuntu partition,

and my grub config sees like that, the good thing of doing
this way is
that when you run
$ yum update
or
$ sudo apt-get update

you do not have to worry about pointing to the new kernels.
do this
boot from any of the linux you are able to boot, after that
run
$ grub
that will give you the grub shell
-> root (hd0,6) # your ubuntu partition
-> configure (hd0,6) # will install grub on your ubuntu
partion.

be sure you have a good menu.lst file on you /boot/grub/
directory on
the hd0,6 partion,
pointing to you Ubuntu

now you chainloader command will make sense.
please tell me if you need any more help, I will be at home
in two
hours and will be able to see how my PC is configure and
working.
regards,
please send me the output of:
$ fdisk -l
$ df (from FC5 and Ubuntu if possible)
