NOTE WELL that Ubuntu 9.10 wants to install Grub version 2
There have been discussions on the Ubuntu lists where
Ubuntu caused dual boot (ubuntu new and ubuntu new) issues.
I think the solution was to boot with a live CD and downgrade grub.
Since grub is a chain loader we need to know
the chain of boot tools that you have built. The MBR
points to foo, foo points to bar, and bar loads bletch from
device xyz. What if /boot was ext4 and your older
fedora can only read ext3?
You should still be able to fix it with a live or rescue CDROM.
