[Beowulf] Weird CentOS Install Problem

[Jess Cannata]

Jon,

I just re-read your message more carefully and you may have a different 
problem if you didn't try to set up the non-80 GB volume in Anaconda. 
Are you using a /boot partition on the 80 GB volume? If not, I would try 
that first like the others have said.
