I just did this with Fedora 10 and the Ubuntu partition appears as a drive. Made life much easier!

      <description><![CDATA[ Installed FC 11 now, i was able to access the Ubuntu hard drives from Fedora.
I may having Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04, opened the /boot/grub/menu.lst with in Fedora, a small change after i copied and pasted to contents to the menu.lst of Fedora was i had to add "root hd(0,0)" after the title line.

If you get a grub 15 error, the fix is universal it's as follows :

For a quick fix, try this:

At the boot prompt, hit "e".
Edit the first line
Change hd(1,0) to hd(0,0)
hit 'b' to boot..

If that doesn't work:

Boot the live cd, Get a Konsole.

sudo bash

(as root)

mkdir /mnt/root
mount /dev/sda2 (or whatever) /mnt/root
mount /dev/sda1 (or whatever) /mnt/root/boot
chroot /mnt/root

vi /etc/fstab
(remove all UUID entries, replace them with the commented /dev/?[abc]# entries)
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
(replace all UUID entries with /dev/?[abc]# format entries).

save, exit (Ctrl-D), reboot.

      <description><![CDATA[ Firstly thanks for the kind information

I am trying an FC10 Ubuntu 9.04 dual boot

I followed your instuctions to the T (well almost..except for the fact that I did not upgrade packages on ubuntu or fedora)

Here is where I am stuck.

SECTION : Modifying Fedora to support dual boot

 I do not see a "menu.lst" in /boot/grub on the Ubuntu live CD or on the ubuntu filesystem as I see it from fedora. There is a grub.cnf which is somewhat similar to your text here, so I copied its contents to the bottom of my fedora's /boot/menu.lst. But no success ! I am getting an Error 17 (cant mount partition) when I click on Ubuntu boot option on boot up.

Any suggestions are very welcome. Thank you again

      <description><![CDATA[ for here:
Installing Ubuntu

1.    I installed Ubuntu 8.0.4 as built from the latest images.
2.    Booted the Ubuntu install CD and selected “Guided, use entire disk”

Can you just choose to select half the disk at this point instead of choosing the entire disk?  that way you can avoid having to resize?? ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ I am trying to dual boot with Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora 14. Looks like I have completed  the  first section called - Installing Ubuntu  successfully.

Moving on to second section called - Modifying disk partition information - All the 10 steps seem to have gone well without any problem. At this point there two almost equal sized paritions are there.

Moving on to third section called - Installing Fedora - All the 3 steps seem to have gone well without any problem. At this point when I reboot the Boot Manager shows 2 options. 1 for Fedora and 2 for Ubuntu.
 
Moving on to fourth section called - Modifying Fedora to support dual boot. Here step two, trying to open the file /boot/grub/menu.lst as root, but there does not seem to be such file. May be I have a different grub version in Ubuntu 10.10, which actually is 1.98+20100804, so I created a file named menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst) with the following text in it.

Quote:
------------------------------------------------------------
title Ubuntu 10.10
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-11-generic root=UUID=cb201140-52f8-4449-9a95-749b27b58ce8 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-11-generic
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Typed the command update-grub in terminal as root.

Now rebooted the system but no trace of Fedora whatsoever. Only Ubuntu availble for boot. So I am stuck on step 4 of this section called- Modifying Fedora to support dual boot. Please help me here, thanks ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ This is method three:

This involves legacy distros namely Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and Fedora 12. Here I have just tried to follow the instructions give on this page.

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/build-an-ubuntu-fedora-dual-boot-system/

I have reached the last step of the last stage called - Modifying Fedora to support dual boot- and I have reached the last step there - step 11. Which is like

Quote:
11.Reboot and check that both OS’s work now. If your Ubuntu doesn’t boot, check VERY carefully for typos as everything needs to be exactly right for this to work.
Now the pc shows two distros when booted Ubuntu and Fedora, but it does not boot to Ubuntu. It only boots to Fedora. Do not know why? When I try to boot to Ubuntu comes an error

Here is how my boot/grub/menu.lst file looks in Fedora 12. I have modified it as per the Intel web page guidelines to add a few lines of Ubuntu...

Quote:

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-23-generic


#title Ubuntu
# rootnoverify (hd0,0)
# chainloader +1
Here is how the same file ie - boot/grub/menu.lst looks in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

Quote:
title Ubuntu
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-generic root=UUID=cd194d06-1824-4aac-b67b-83f26fe6f743 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-23-generic
Initially this file did not exist in Ubuntu 6.06 and I had to created one by typing the following command as root in a terminal, which basically asked me that the file did not exist and whether I would like to create one, to which I said yes. Then I types the same command ie - sudo update-grub to update grub.

Quote:
sudo update-grub
This is what I see using the Palimpsest Disk Utitlity program in Fedora 12.

Quote:
38 Gb File system
Linux Ext3 (Version 1.0)

3.1 GB Extended (Contains logical partitions)

3.1 GB Swap space

210 MB File system
Linux Ext4 (Version 1.0)
Bootable

39 GB LVM2 Physical Volume
Here only one partitions is bootable and that is the 210 MB - Linux Ext4 - one. Should I also make all other paritions or any other partition in particular bootable?

I have almost done it, but there seems to be a small problem as of now. Can you please help me get over the last hurdle? Thanks ]]></description>
