In most probability this problem is due to the limitation of ur computer's BIOS due to which it cannot access the /boot partition if it resides out of the first 1024 cylinders, one solution to overcome this limitation is to have your /boot partition reside within the first 1024 cylinders. For more info read the appendix in the rhl-rg-en-7.1 folder that came as a part of the docmentation on the pcqliux cd. Hope this helps. Have a nice day. With regards, Sachin S. Khanna
