get over this first hurdle and get the OS to boot.
any other thoughts?
I think you still need to have /boot on a non-LVM partition. A small 500MB partition is sufficient.
+1 /boot cannot be on LVM (since we're using Legacy GRUB)
(If we had GRUB2, then /boot on LVM could be possibility [I've put /boot within LVM on a Debian install.])
You might also need to disable "secure boot" or some such option in the bios. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
