I tried the grub commands you gave and still got the same results. I also have a copy of the SuperGrub disc, which is supposed to be able to fix grub problems. It can boot the drive, but it can't fix it. If nothing else, I guess I could just leave that disc in the drive and use it to boot the system.
I'm going to do a fresh install to the new drives and see if that works.
I suppose it's worth a shot. But like I mentioned earlier, keep in mind that CentOS 5 predates AF drives, so it will not correctly partition these drives such that they have proper 8 sector alignment.
The fresh install will be with CentOS 6. A quick test with a minimal install booted without any problems, so it looks like this is the solution.
If you haven't already, check the logic board firmware and the HBA firmware for current updates.
I try to avoid firmware updates on established systems unless absolutely necessary. Since the CentOS 6 install produces a bootable system, I'm going to leave it as-is.
