You don't need to upgrade grub, I'm quite happily dual booting rhel6 GA on a CentOS-5 system (using C-5 GRUB).
Only thing I did differently is the rhel6 /boot partition is mounted on an ext3 partition whereas I _think_ the default might be ext4 which, as a wild guess, is probably unsupported by CentOS-5 GRUB ?
The rest of the system is quite happily sitting in an ext4 partition using md raid on lvm.
Hi Nick,
Thanks for writing back. I'm using ext3 also. Is it possible to see your RHEL 6 grub entry? Did you install grub on the RHEL boot partition and use a chainloader, or were able to just do a normal entry?
Again,t hanks for any ponters.
Yes, I installed rhel6's grub to the rhel6 /boot partition during the rhel6 installation and then added a chainloader entry to the end of the CentOS-5 /boot/grub/grub.conf to boot rhel6:
title RHEL6 Buildsys rootnoverify (hd0) root (hd0,1) chainloader +1
Adjust to suit your partitioning scheme :-)
