Re: Grub and two distros
For that reason you have to know that operating systems you have installed, that partitions you have in your hard disk, and that partitions you have in your operating systems, you must know your system, sometimes grub it does not take into account many configurations and it is necessary to do it manually, for that reason he is recommendable to know the partitions well.

Re: Grub and two distros
Fedora is very likely to recognize the partition in the installation and add the grub, and to check the type of grub partitions have been installed.

I think you need to mount /proc and /sys into chroot and configure your files of the /etc for to have essential services of the network.

Re: can't log in after converting root filesystem
I hope it works. You use a livecd and in the terminal: /dev/sda1 = / (your linux, as appropriate) Example: fsck /dev/sda1 mount /dev/sda1 /media/linux chroot /media/linux source /etc/profile And change the password: passwd There is another way you can do in the event that the above does not work, change the kernel version and so on ... grub edit> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9.42.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet 1 Press Enter, and the B, mode single-kernel boot. Once we can use the passwd command to change the password for the root.
