Distro = C 5.7

Regrettably the command:

        grub --version
        
yields:-

        grub (GNU GRUB 0.97)

But this is insufficient information because it does not reveal minor
version numbers.

In a posting from Centos earlier this year, which I found last night but
can't find again, the writer Bob? says that Grub since version 0.97.b.b
in 2009 has been Ext4 aware, but the Grub in Centos 5.x, version
0.97.a.a, is not Ext4 aware.

I re-installed C 6.0 on a Ext3 partition and was able to launch it from
the Grub menu on C 5.7 using

title C6-0 (2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64)
 	rootnoverify (hd0,6)
	chainloader +1

Thank you for your help.
