I installed Fedora 12 on my second drive.
Xubuntu 9.10 is on my master drive, and I use it to install/update grub.
When I installed Fedora, I answered "NO" to installing a boot loader.
After install, I booted Xubuntu and ran update-grub, grub couldn't find (apparently) my new fedora install.
I've tried adding it to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, and when I list /boot/grub/grub.conf, it appears to have added Fedora to the bottom of the menu.
When I boot, it doesn't stop at the grub screen, indicating only one installation of linux.
Here are the pertinent file listings, can you see where I've gone wrong?
