The only thing I see that could cause this, is that the server does not have a boot partition, so this is grub.conf (after manually updating default to 0): # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have no /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 #splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title CentOS (2.4.21-50.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-50.EL ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-50.EL.img title CentOS (2.4.21-47.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-47.EL ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-47.EL.img Is it possible that not having a boot partition is the reason for this failure? Otherwise I could try to look more closely. Best Regards Michael Paesold
