Hi Taco,
do you use software raid on that machine?
If so I've created a script that rewrites the grub correctly on every
shutdown that I posted on the list about a month ago.
The problem is that mkinitrd and grub on centos4/rhel4 doesn't really
support /boot running with raid1. This means problems everytime there is
a kernel upgrade. I think it's fixed on centos5/rhel5.
Hisao said he would incorporate the script in and update.
Best regards,
Rickard
