Multi-Booting with Legacy Grub and Grub2 - ZDNet UK (blog)

Various thoughts and adventures, including but not limited to Linux, assorted bits of hardware new and old, and occasionally Windows XP/Vista/7.

When Ubuntu changed to Grub 2 a couple of releases ago, it became significantly more difficult to set up multi-boot Linux systems. Most if not all Ubuntu derivatives are also using Grub2, and now the latest Debian release also uses it. There are probably a lot of ways to set up multi-booting between these two; I will detail here what I do, which I think is reasonably simple and doesn't impose too many limits or inconveniences.

First, if you are willing to let a Grub2 system be the primary bootloader, everything will be pretty simple because the update-grub utility will generally figure out the other installed systems. But if you want a Legacy Grub system to be the primary bootloader, you'll have some work to do to get it to work with Grub2 partitions. The simplest solution that I have found is to install Grub2 to the root partition of the other installations, and then "chainload" from Legacy Grub to those, so Grub2 will still take care of actually booting them.
