finally fixed my ubuntu grub to include a option of booting up fedora 9 today. Apparently it could have been because I was tired when I was writing the fedora boot info into the grub menu.lst. first I mounted my fedora's partition, went to the /boot/grub and retrieved the menu item that boots up itself, copied it into ubuntu grub. it didn't work. and the problem that it doesn't work is becuase there are two initrd images, and i used the wrong one. the correct initrd i should be using is
/boot/initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.img
it was not because of the root= value, which was actually correct (even though during the failed fedora booting up, it says it's because it cannot find such partition as what the root= describes)
the correct value for root= should be the UUID of the parition, which can be retrieved using the command:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
