It would install, but not boot.
Turned out Grub was writing it as /dev/hda during install, but on reboot, it
was /dev/sda.
I fixed it by boot of the F9 dvd, into rescue mode, chrooting, and
re-running grub install and specified sda.
Perhaps this is your issue. (I haven't followed the whole thread...)
Seems to be happening on just very recent motherboards, based on the little
bit of Googling I did.

Actually I did that but there was no solution
like you said:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# grub-install /dev/sda
I even tried:
# grub-install /dev/sda2
# grub-install /dev/hda
but there was no possitive result and couldn't boot at all.
I tried installing FC9 but there was no sucess at all.
I guess I'll wait until CentOS 5.2 its released, because my subscription to Red Hat will finish sometime in September, mean while I'll test Xen under RHEL 5.2.
Thank you all.
Victor.
