I am zero for three trying to get fc18 to dual boot. I have a number of systems
with fc16 or fc17 currently dual booting, some with XP as well. In every case,
doing a new install into a new boot and root space, NONE of the existing
installed OS were recognized, only fc18 was left bootable. I also tried fedup
using the existing boot partition from fc17 in hope that it would learn from the
grub config file and keep the existing boots. Didn't happen.
Is this just no longer possible, or is there magic, or do I have to try and
write my own grub2 stanzas, seeing that copying the ones from the fc17 boot cfg
and adding them to grub2.cfg results in some boot failure mode? It seems that
fc18 just won't coexist with other Linux versions, and the next machine I need
to do has XP, fc4, fc9, and is currently on fc13.
Pointer to some useful info?

taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
