One of my laptops has LL2.8 installed on its HDD, along with more than 20 other distros.
I have just installed LL3.0 next to 2.8, the newer version now being in charge of the grubscreen.
However, though I can boot into LL3.0, when I choose to boot from LL2.8 (selecting it from the grublist) it refuses to boot.
Therefore, it seems that when I install two different versions of LL (on the same HDD), only the last installed version is bootable. Is there something I can do so that either version is bootable (i.e. they are mutually compatible) or am I just stuck with being able to boot only the last installed LL version?
Many thanks for any comments or advice on this...

2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
