Any idea what I did wrong?
The only thing you did 'wrong' was not to decide in advance who gets to
control grub. :)
Here is how you 'fix' it.
Boot into KUbuntu.
Mount your FC6 boot partition on /mnt
# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
# cd /mnt/grub
# cat grub.conf
examine the indicated default boot record.
copy that boot record (4 lines) into /etc/grub.conf
all done!
a problem could be that you have to do this every time after a kernel
update is installed, therefore i would do the following:
install fc6 boot loader to fc6 root partition /dev/hdb1 (grub-install)
and
chainload in Kbuntu's boot configuration - iirc menu.lst - fc6.
a entry:
title FC 6
root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
could do the job.
i hope hd1,0 is correct.
advantage: no need to change the grub entries after updates
disadvantage: you will see two grub menu's (1st Kunbuntu, 2cd fedora)
