I'm not a noob, but I'm definitely no guru either. Here is my dilemma:

I have extlinux as my bootloader. Installed on sda0.

It boots Meego and windows and I want to make it chainload to grub2

Grub2 is installed on sda5 and will boot Ubuntu for me.

Can someone help me out? I've searched and found a lot of technical articles about bootloaders and chainloading and such, but a lot of it is difficult for me to understand.

The basic problem is that I want to boot Meego Ubuntu and Windows XP and apparently grub2 and meego don't like each other. There are a zillion inconclusive threads on the web about how to make them coexist and most just say you have to chainload to the other OS's bootloader.
