Hi Ralph

You're right and I'm partially wrong: I changed /boot/grub/menu.lst from acpi=off to pci=nommconf and rebooted the system expecting it to come up with the new command line parameters. As you've shown me in the paste of the dmesg output I posted this isn't the case. Which makes me wonder, and ask, where does it take the boot parameters from if not from /boot/grub/menu.lst?

On CentOS the grub config file is /boot/grub/grub.conf. There are normally two symlinks pointing to this, /etc/grub.conf and /boot/grub/menu.lst.

If your /boot/grub/menu.lst is broken (now a file not a symlink) then this is expected behaviour. Check it out with the file command.
