Chainloading (via 40_custom) is what I'm still doing with GRUB2, and it works with different bootloaders, too (unlike "configfile"). I've used configfile manually and as a last resort only. Installing boot loaders into boot partitions also has the benefit that those are available when I replace the "main OS" *and* MBR. > Running OS prober in the "main" OS after each installation/ > kernel update? Not really an option. Only three installed kernels are kept during updates, so if you ever forget rebooting to the "main OS" to recreate the GRUB2 config file, you've lost. > Something else?

The most important breakage I remember is that eventually I've had to repartition in order to add an MBR gap (around Fedora 16). -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
