I'm not and haven't in the past ran either CentOS or Fedora (?), but I
do dual boot Ubuntu and have never had that sort of problem.

You will most likely want to use the "Ubuntu 'alternate' CDROM"

and: <http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/>
     "Illustrated Dual Boot Site" (Ubuntu)

for pointers.
