Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

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
Code:
sudo update-grub
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?
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)
