I had a problem where grub2 on Ubuntu woudln't find Centos installed on
a separate partition. It turned out that Centos used LVM for its disks,
but I hadn't used that on Ubuntu. As soon as I installed the LVM
libraries on the Ubuntu (apt-get install liblvm2app, as far as I can
remember), grub found Centos.
