[CentOS] boot failure after install

Quoting Peter Farrow <peter at farrows.org>:

It's still an option if you use kickstart.  Simply place this line into your
kickstart file:

bootloader --location=mbr --useLilo

You might also want to place "-grub" line into %packages section to 
prevent grub
package from being installed.

I haven't done interactive installation for a long time (I'm mostly doing
kickstart installations), but I do remember somebody writing that LILO option
is hidden under "Advanced" button on intallation screen.  I don't know if that
is correct.

Sounds like you are doing CentOS/Fedora/RH installations regulary?  You should
consider doing it using kickstart, it's going to save you lot of time (no more
clicking to select same options time and time again).  You just boot of CD,
type "linux ks=location_of_ks.cfg" on boot prompt, go for a coffe, when 
you are
back, the system is installed.  If you are familiar with PXE, you can 
even have
the system boot from the network and install itself automatically.
