Actually I did that but there was no solution like you said: # chroot /mnt/sysimage # grub-install /dev/sda I even tried: # grub-install /dev/sda2 # grub-install /dev/hda but there was no possitive result and couldn't boot at all. I tried installing FC9 but there was no sucess at all.

I guess I'll wait until CentOS 5.2 its released, because my subscription to Red Hat will finish sometime in September, mean while I'll test Xen under RHEL 5.2.

Since you installed using AHCI, but then changed to SATA (hence the kernel panic), you probably need to rebuild the initrd image (see mkinitrd) from rescue mode.
