I've got a new PE2950 rack system with PERC controller and 6 drives set up
contiguously as one RAID5 volume on the PERC controller.
Using 64-bit CentOS 4.4, I partitioned for /boot having 100 Meg, swap
having 2 gig, and / with the rest (removed LVM).
After the install was complete, the system rebooted and just gave me a
broken grub prompt (not the graphical Grub boot selector, but grub>).
I fed it root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0) and rebooted.
I then got the grub gui, but also got the following after the attempted
kernel boot:
Decompressing Linux...done.
Booting the kernel.

What might be wrong? Bad hard drive? This, again, is a fresh install,
straight off the 64-bit CentOS 4.4 4 CD set.
Thanks.
