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....
Have you <alt-F3> or <alt-F4>, and seen what it's logging?

Trudging through bios again.

Please elaborate on the alt-f4/f4 thing.

While booting, if you hit them and it's not *too* soon in the boot process, screen will be running, and you can get another console window. There's eight, I think, available, and three and four show diffent logging info - I think one gets copied to boot.log, or dmesg, and the other to /var/log/message. At any rate, they're written to the screen.

I am hanging prior to the kernel being loaded.
I have change what few options there are in the bios (v1.1.12), no luck.
More internet searching:
Does centos have grub2?

What do you mean? Do you think that LVM is causing the problem in some way?
Where is the filesystem containing /boot located?
And then hangs. It is aleged that Grub probes aroung the bios which chrashes on optiplex 320s
but not supporting evidence is given. Is your BIOS up to date?

No, but lilo does not support lvm.

/dev/sda1 (ext2/3)

What would you like? Did you read the bugzilla ticket?

Yes see other email; it is 1.1.12.
Your help is appreciated.
Per a response on bugzilla, I am going to confirm that fedora 13 can boot on this machine. Then I am going to try to get their version of grub to load.

As long as /boot isn't on the LVM, it shouldn't need to.
I have read in many places that I cannot do it, since root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
I will try, if you think it could work.

It should be fine. lilo will load the kernel and initrd into RAM from the /boot partition. Only the kernel cares about the "root=..." argument.
