I did a FTP install from the beta2 mirror state IIRC. Shortly after I did some partition rearranging, moving the factory from hda21 to hda10. After editing the appropriate files and running grub-install, it would not boot when hda10 selected from IBM Boot Manager or when hda10 chainloaded from grub on another partition. Loading the kernel and initrd from grub elsewhere worked fine.

After updating to the rc1 mirror state I reran grub-install once again, and now it boots from BM, and presumably also from chainload.

The rc1 graphical grub boot menu is way cool!

I just stumbled onto a clue why my problem may have occurred, but don't know what to make of or do about it. I just grabbed the newest default kernel rpm via ftp and ran rpm -ivh on it.

Now hda21 no longer exists. I moved factory to hda10 over a week ago. What triggered the errors? What is remembering the original installation target?

What product and component? IOW, whose fault is it likely to be? /etc/grub.conf was left untouched from its original installation creation state (the old partition originally installed to) after I used YaST 2 System Update to upgrade to RC1. -- "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven."

Yes, RC1. But, I feel like I've described more than one problem (1-failure to boot after moving partition and reinstalling grub, 2-/etc/grub.conf not getting rewritten as required on YaST2 system upgrade after partition relocation, 3-error messages after mkinitrd portion of new kernel installation), and don't know which you'd like filed.
