Nothing leaps out at me, except that your 5.x menu.lst doesn't have the leading tabs from your 4.x grub.conf (and mine does, as the two are identical on my box).
I haven't modified either grub.conf or menu.lst at all - when a new kernel comes out, I install it (via yum update), boot from it, download the kernel source (most recently from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/updates/SRPMS/), enable NTFS as a module with read/write add-ons, build the kernel, install the kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-headers rpms and go.
This time, since the yum installation failed, I built my NTFS 53.1.6 kernel while still running the 53.1.4 kernel, but neither one installed.
On a hunch, I rebooted the straight 53.1.4 kernel and had no problems getting yum to update the kernel (whew!). I was also able to install my 53.1.6 kernel with NTFS support, and am now running it.
Odd that I had trouble with that one item on 53.1.4 w/NTFS....
More to come (new threads) - other problems I've been seeing lately....
Thanks, all, especially Bill!
