I had this same problem.
I install F20 on a second drive, Like sdb instead of sda ??
I put a second drive in computer sdb and installed F20 on it but i
couldn't boot into F20 sdb it kept going back to F18 on sda, after all
the work on Grub2, the only way I could get it to work was to put the
NEW drive in as sda from sdb and original sda with F18 on it as sdb
by changing the cables on drives.
I then reinstalled F20 on sda and walla I can boot up on F20, F18,
and Windows 7.
I don't know your configuration but that is how I got into work. LOL!
Well, here's my case. F20 (and indeed F16) ARE on sdb. I used to have
Windows on sda and my various linux partitions on sdb. Long ago I blew
away Windows and use the sda drive as additional storage.
Installing F14,15,&16 on sdb (with nothing bootable on sda) was never a
problem. F20 seemed to be unable to update the bootloader properly (even
though - on a second install, which I watched this time - it said
"Installing Bootloader").
Doing grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and even
grub2-install /dev/sdb from the F20 partition still failed to update it.
The way I eventually got it to work was by downloading the boot-repair
live-CD (http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd/home/Home/) and running
it over the system. I have no idea what it did, but I now have a
bootloader that I can use to boot into F20 (including the latest kernel
- which, by the way doesn't work - but that will have to be the subject
of a different thread...)
This is exactly what happen to me, Fedora team has some coding to do.
Thanks for the info on ;
http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd/home/Home/
I sure do wish that I would have had that Disk two days ago.
