My centos 4.5 box x86_64 went yesterday into 4.6 but it has software 
RAID1 (2 IDE HDD - /dev/hda and /dev/hdc), after restart to new kernel 
to have an effect - system didn't boot up ...

After some hours later, i went to the server i saw on the monitor screen 
only this: GRUB (egh - remote administration)

So i staretd system form second RAID1 disk (/dev/hdc - some tweaks in 
BIOS) and system boots up as normal, then i installed again GRUB on 
these first HDD (/dev/hda) - fixed MBR and system boot up on first hdd 
as normal.

So far - i have these strange problems, but by now everything seems to 
be OK. I don't know, what causes this - some nasty BUG in kernel 
installation (another i386 machines with software RAID1 went OK)
