Which partitions are the 2 linuxes installed on? (I assume you installed them
on separate partitions, for obvious reasons they can't be installed onto the
same partition.)

What does your lilo.conf/grub conif file look like? Whats the error message
that the boot loader gives you?

P.S. I'm just curious, why do you want to have 2 linuxes installed in the
first place?
