Public bug reported:
i installed 7.10 in a new partition on a laptop with 7.04 already
installed. now i cannot boot 7.04 anymore....
ubuntu should include automatically the previous boots (as it does with
windows!).
i use the following manual procedure, which could be automated as
follows:
do not format/overwrite /boot if there is already the files necessary for
booting an ubuntu,
but insert there the necessary new images and edit the grub menu.
do not reformat the partition in which the root goes (to avoid creating
a new uuid, which would then have to go into the fstab of the previous
installation - or provide a tool to fix an fstab automatically when
booting)
--
it is a good feeling to know that one has a second working ubuntu installation
...
now i start experimenting with 7.10
