The question was "WHY", the answer seems to be "because 'they' didn't like lilo"
1: Inadequate arch support in LILO 2: RAID1 boot problems with GRUB not deemed sufficiently important to leave in LILO until said problem is resolved.
For ServerCD 4.3: 1: Please support i586 in the install. Method: if arch is i686, install i686; if it's i386->i586, install i386.

Probably the LILO RPM missing on the CD. If you rebuild CD image with LILO RPM included, it might work.
if you can verify this, could you file this as an issue at http://bugs.centos.org/ - I'll make sure the situation is rectified in time for ServerCD 4.3
thanks

It is silly to speculate why they did it, especially on this list ... if you want to really know the answer to the question, ask on the RHEL list. I'm sure they would tell you.

There is no i386 kernel in RHEL-4 or CentOS-4
we may do an i586 and i686 kernel for the server CD.

Now let's see if Johnny saying it (yet again) will result in any drop of the issue any more than I (crossing my fingers ;-).
There is no i386 kernel in RHEL-4 or CentOS-4 we may do an i586 and i686 kernel for the server CD.
First off, upstream provider issues.
Secondly, i686 is almost a bare minimum these days. Even packages that say ".i386" may have i686 requirements in them.
Third, thank the CentOS team for considering and shipping i586 kernels when they can. Frankly, with all the i686 requirements in the software these days, I'm surprised they're able to.
