installed a little kde, it switched to it on the reboot, and most stuff is missing, no access to a shell of any kind

So for F10,
sh:grub>configfile (hd0,1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
For Mint
sh:grub>configfile (hd1,1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
For Other Linux ?
sh:grub>configfile (hd3,1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
No windows? hah!
There is a new entry since the last time you've sent the fdisk output,
and that is in (hd1,3). I am not sure what that is and I guess it is to
boot up Mint from Fedora grub at mbr (in a roundabout way) but ....... I
really don't know.
Also you might try
sh:grub>configfile (hdx,y)/boot/grub.cfg
or do a chainload, (also works)
I am beginning to suspect Fedora's grub2 is not as advanced as Ubuntu's
and if it needs to have a roundabout (core.img way) to boot other OS's,
then Ubuntu's grub2 is far preferable. Therefore it is better to set
Ubuntu's (Karmic beta4 grub2) to sda (aka 'set to mbr'). It is also now
very much easier, did it the hard way, to set a new partition using
Karmic's grub2 to boot and 'set to sda'. Suggest you set Karmic's grub2
to sda if my suspicion is correct. All you need to do at Karmic terminal is
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
