install mandriva aside ubuntu

[deickos]

i have ubuntu 10.4 and tried to install mandriva 10 but after i found i couldnt get to ubuntu from bootloader - so i deleted mandriva and put back ubuntu from a clone : is there a way these two can appear on bootloader and choose between them at start up?

( i read something like passing the bootloader stage at mandriva set up and then go at ubuntu and make a grub update - is that ok?)

Install distro 1, then install distro 2 to another partition, but during setup of distro 2, do not install a bootloader... then from distro 1, add distro 2 to grub...

well i installed again mandriva and put grub/lilo in the same partition (sda6 ) so i can boot from ubuntu ( sda2 ) while the grub is on sda ( ntfs) partition -
sda- ntfs, sda2- ubuntu, sda6- mandriva root, sda7 swap, sda8- home mandriva
then i boot normally from ubuntu and did a grub update so at the menu i see mandriva linux, but when i try to boot i receive kernel panic - is there any fix ?
