I don't know...he did say that he restored lilo to get his FC1
installation working again. grub should not have problems picking up its
second stage unless it rests beyond the 1024 cylinder and there is no
LBA support. That leads to the question, where is the partition for the
/boot for the Centos5 kernels located and is there LBA support in the BIOS?
On my first installation attempt grub was installed beyond the 1024
cylinder mark, but I assumed that my year 2000 BIOS ought to be able to
handle that. On my second unsuccessful install attempt, Centos had the
whole drive to itself, /boot was on /dev/hda1 starting at cylinder 1.
The rest of the drive anaconda used for the LVM volume.
I have never had that kind of problem with grub...man, I used pxegrub
for the boot process for dozens machines with serial console support.
Ext3 for /boot eh? I am sorry...beyond making a grub floppy or grub cd
as you say you have done...I do not know what else to try on your part.
LBA support in BIOS?
