Mark (MHR) and the earlier responder who previously mentioned to
change to "root (hd0,1)" in the GRUB boot menu. A_SPECIAL_THANK_YOU!
That got me into CentOS5.2.... :-) I did notice an error message,
when the box was booting, "mounting local filesystems failed" but I
think that has to do with mounting the NTFS partition, which I will
fix in /etc/fstab after I send this message.

OK. I will download the first CD, but not tonight, since my CentOS 5
Installation DVD is now toast. I ran into this problem, Saturday
afternoon, and the list is very slow on weekends and then our ADSL
went down, because there was a bad card in the phone company Router or
some other HW in our subdivision. To everyone who replied, THANK YOU!
