C6's grub has large inode support (and for sure a couple of others patches) which is missing in C5's grub. Not sure if this is here the case but i got triggered while reading this thread because we had here problems with filesystems that where "premastered" on C6 systems to install C5 on it (KVM). The above mentioned missing large inode support was the problem. -- LF
