This proves nothing.

The fact that you can boot a few times straight after a fresh install, *before* any updates only proves that during the initial install the contents of /boot are created at a point that 'just happens', through luck, to place them on disk at a position your bios can read.

OK, but isn't the only limit in regard to the BIOS the 1024 cylinder limit? Someone pointed out that this is roughly 8G. Since I always booted off a partition that was past the 30G mark it doesn't strike me as if there is a BIOS issue....unless someone digs up yet another mark that may play a role. So if it is a BIOS 1024 cylinder issue it ought to have never worked.
