If you boot from the cdrom to rescue mode and install lilo, does that work? If not, what does your partitioning look like?
We did a re-install using lilo instead of grub and everything worked fine.
Does grub work better if you use the updated grub package at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/grub/ ?
Thanks for the info on the new grub. The server has been taken to the co-lo so I no longer have access to test the new grub and we will just use lilo.
Not much more that I can do, then, unfortunately. There have been a few reports like this that have been fixed with the newer version, though fwiw. If you get a chance to test in the future, please feel free to reopen with more information.
