don't know about g4l

boot CD 1 of any CentOS 4 disks. Type 'linux rescue' and press enter

follow the directions...

chroot /mnt/sysimage

then make sure things are there...

ls -l 
ls -l /boot etc.

then to see if you can fix the boot...

grub-install /dev/hda

Of course this assumes that your new disk is the primary master and if
that is the case, you should be able to boot from it.

Craig,

Thanks - actually I had just done that. it does not let me chroot /mnt/sysimage.
If did the fdisk -l /dev/hda and my partitions are there. 

It gets past the grub boot already, it is going into the firstboot screens and 
I get the "Show details" and service startup screen.... 

When I let it boot I get failed for all the startup services. It's like it 
is trying to work but something is not found? 

Very odd.... So close.

Jerry
