Re: Trying to install GRUB but getting "L 99 99 99" error!

I thought of that. I removed all the other drives from the system aside from /dev/sda and rebooted. Its definately booting from that drive.

Try checking the boot order in the system BIOS or the SCSI BIOS.  You
may be installing grub to sda, but still booting from sdb?

I've been working at building a kickstart disk for a RedHat Enterprise 4
configuration that I have (using the demo/trial version).

My ks.cfg file has the following bootloader command:

bootloader --location=mbr --md5pass=$blahblahblah

When the host reboots, it prints out "L 99 99 99 99....". Thats a LILO
error, isn't it??? (and yes, this disk previously had LILO loaded on it)

I've even gone in, in rescue mode, run chroot, and performed 'grub-install
/dev/sda', and rebooting I get the same error.

I'm at a total loss!

Here are some goodies from my ks.cfg file:

Any help would be greatly appriciated.
