I booted the "Centos 6.4 minimal iso", told it to "upgrade an existing
installation", and to install the bootloader.  About all that it appeared to do
was install the bootloader.  Unfortunately, the machine still didn't boot.

The bootloader seems to be fine -- grub itself boots up.  I get a kernel panic
after that, when you normally see the messages about unpacking vmlinuz and so
on.  I just get a blank black screen with a flashing cursor (or the rhgb
screen with the spinning doodad, depending on the grub setting) and then a
kernel panic.
