Given I can boot the install disk and chroot in, there must be away around Grub while still keeping LVM installed.
Any ideas?
Screen says:
Booting Centos (2.6.18-194.3.1.el5)
root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1db35c]
And then hangs. It is aleged that Grub probes aroung the bios which chrashes on optiplex 320s
I just was rebuilding a Vostro the other day, and had all *kinds* of grief, including it hanging on the way up... until I went into the BIOS, and in "integrated peripherals", I think it was, saw "SATA Mode", and it was set to IDE. ONLY when I arrowed down to that option did I see info on the side saying it was for "XP, Vista and <older? newer?>. The other option was RAID. I set it to that... and the install went with no problems.
Then there was the older rackmount I rebuilt a few months ago, that I had to unset an option that was *only* for OS/2....
Trudging through bios again.
Have you <alt-F3> or <alt-F4>, and seen what it's logging?
Please elaborate on the alt-f4/f4 thing.
