If it isn't in the boot menu, you probably installed grub to the /boot partition of the Fedora installation. You need to add an entry to the menu.lst of the grub for mandrake that points to that boot partition. Here is an example title Fedora 14 configfile root (hd0,4) configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst This root should work for your layout above if the boot is part of / rather than separate for Fedora. This will bring up a second menu of boot options for F14 only when you select it. That is, you will first see the boot menu for Mandriva, then when you select the above entry, you will see the menu for Fedora. If it doesn't work, please post the contents of your mandriva /boot/grub/menu.lst file, and, if possible, the output of fdisk -l (it will list your partition table). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
