Yikes! That's kind of scary. I've not tried to cohabitate Xandros with 
other Linux distros...

If the behavior you describe is by design (not unimaginable), hopefully 
they corrected that in the 3.0 release. You may want to report the bug 
to the xandros folks, or on the xandros user forums, as the developers 
are in good contact with the user base there.

SimplyMepis uses grub and has given no trouble with bootloaders. It even 
labels kernels with version numbers. :)
