Given I can boot the install disk and chroot in, there must be away around Grub while still keeping LVM installed.
What do you mean? Do you think that LVM is causing the problem in some way?
No, but lilo does not support lvm.
Where is the filesystem containing /boot located?
/dev/sda1 (ext2/3)
And then hangs. It is aleged that Grub probes aroung the bios which chrashes on optiplex 320s
but not supporting evidence is given.
What would you like? Did you read the bugzilla ticket?
Is your BIOS up to date?
Yes see other email; it is 1.1.12.
Your help is appreciated.
Per a response on bugzilla, I am going to confirm that fedora 13 can boot on this machine. Then I am going to try to get their version of grub to load.
