Tomod, I don't know other distros handle this - I tend to only use ubuntu on my desktop these days, usually using a few different versions at the same time - to try out the dev version, betas etc.. I have a separate /boot partition which is not on LVM. I have gone through the process of managing

Cameron, AFAIK having the /boot directory or partition on LVM can not work in any case, since the BIOS needs to access the grub files. That's the reason people use a separate /boot partition. If you try to share one /boot partition between many OSes, you could theoretically make subdirectories ther

If you have several distros/operating systems installed, I know of only one sane way of doing it: Let _one_ of them install to MBR, let the other install grub/etc to their respective partitions. Then in the "master" distro's menu.lst, add entries for chainloading the others: title Chain

Funny, I had this work somewhat backwards. I installed Kubuntu after Ubuntu and when Ubuntu tried to upgrade, well, Kubuntu had already overwritten the boot sector so the upgrade wasn't able to boot with the new kernel. Instead it kept getting whatever Kubuntu had put in at the time I installed it.

Another problem, connected to this one, appears if you choose the same boot-Partition for ubuntu as for another distro (like I do because of LVM root-partitions): All the kernels from the other distro appear as Ubuntu-Kernels, and my original grub-settings are gone. -- Ubuntu's Grub unfriendly to
