I'll try running the install again. I did this exact same thing a year
ago, and all worked fine. The only difference was that I didn't
partition the disk this time, and I preserved one partition's data. I'll
back it up and just go the whole route with a format and partition in
the installer and see if it works.
It is strange that it finds the /boot partition to get the gtub.conf,
but can't see the initrd and vmlinuz files there...
