Albert,
   I think that it did not show up in grub because Mandrake and Redhat
install different grub installations. If you boot RH, but then mount either
hda5 or hda6 under RH, I think you will find another /boot directory and
another grub.conf file. This has happened to me in the past.

   What you need to do is to 'consolidate' the grub.conf files from the two
installations into a single grub.conf under RH. Then grub will give you the
option to boot either one. As I say, I boot 3 different installations,
including RH and Mandrake, this way.
