On an exisiting station running Suse 11.1, I installed Fedora 11 into
a new partition, leaving the previous partitions intact.
I told Anaconda to install the boot info into this same partition. I
was hoping that I can use the new Fedora system, and in case of
emergency look stuff up on the older partitions. Anyhow, upon reboot,
Grub presents me with the same old menu as before I installed Fedora
11.
So I fired up Suse's boot mainteneance gui, which has an option to
"look for and merge other grub installations", and sure enough it
found the new Fedora 11 partition (in addition to many older kernels'
boot info).
The problem is that upon selecting F11, grub display chainloader+1,
the cpu box whistles, and that's that. It seems like a minor thing for
folks that know grub. I don't :).
Here is a copy of /boot/grub/menu.lst: (Please excuse if I should not
have posted all of it.)
