I must have really shot myself in the foot on this one.
I reinstalled CentOS 4.4 (have to, for now) on my test machine,
exactly the way it was before (same options anyway), but when it comes
up, I get:
Booting 'CentOS-4 x86_64 (2.6.9-42.ELsmp)'
root(hd1,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue...
If I press any key, I get a garbled screen that is nearly impossible
to read. So, I rebooted from the DVD in rescue mode, ran fdisk to
verify that the partitions are set up correctly, ran e2fsck on all
three formatted partitions (sde1 - /boot, sde3 - /, sde6 - /home), ran
e2label to make sure the labels are set correctly and everything
checks out. All the file images are present in /boot where they
should be, and the device map shows hd1 is /dev/sde3.
Is my disk rotten or something? Everything is in the right place (so
far) but it won't boot.
The test machine is of a type I don't recognize, it's running a
2.88GHz Xeon processor with 8Gb of memory, a 4-disk RAID SATA
controller (currently configured as 4 separate drives, one of which is
"spared" because it did go bad) and a WD hard drive as /dev/sde. It
has a 17" FP monitor with an ATI <something> XL video card, though I
doubt that last part is terribly relevant.
Suggestions welcome.
