I know you mention several things but just to be clear... You did try an install using nothing more than /dev/sda as the root partition with everything all in one partition? No software raid. No lvm. That would be the simplest case. If that fails what is on the screen at that time? I wasn't 100% positive that such a simple trial had been made and had also failed to get booted and so decided to ask. > Centos installs fine.

But that is a good clue just the same. Installs and boots? If so then you should be able to do an A-B comparison to figure out the difference. Or at the least use one to boot the other. Bob
