Mandriva and PCLinuxOS get KP with grub2
Howdy All,
So I currently have an Ubuntu/Mandriva/PCLinuxOS multiboot setup on my system. After I installed the latter two I setup Ubuntu's grub2 to be my default boot manager. After running my command it successfully found and added entries for Mandriva and PCLinuxOS, however upon trying to boot into either of these distros (selecting them from the menu) I get some terminal output that ultimately ends in kernel panic.
Booting into Ubuntu works fine, any suggestions for what I can do to try and resolve the issue?
Regards,
~Jeff

GRUB and GRUB2 are conflicting each other.....
Start e.g. PCLinuxOS from the live-cd or live-usb, and do a redo-mbr...
ATTENTION
=> install the GRUB of PCLinuxOS on its own partition (root partition: for example /dev/sda4 -- thus NOT /dev/sda)
Then start Ubuntu, and do an update of grub2 => like that, the PCLinuxOS-line in grub2 will link to the GRUB of PCLinuxOS....
Similar, you can do for Mandriva I would think (because it has many similarities with PCLOS)
