Why "needless to say"? When I did this, my Fedora 14 install was
presented as a boot option in grub2, and it booted just fine. Maybe you
need to run grub2-mkconfig in the F18 system?

# cd /boot/grub2
# grub2-mkconfig -o grub.cfg

Greg, thanks for your help.

That does provide a grub2 that includes the f14 system. Unfortunately, it strips the xen parts of it.

Your advice did let me boot into the f14 system (now part of the f18 boot) and from there I was able to, at boot time, edit the boot stanza to include xen as the kernel and the kernel and initramfs as modules. From there the f14 xen system came back to life.

Still work to do but you got me on my way!

Thx
