Grub unable to load blocklist for kernel on optiplex 320 |

I've got a Dell Optiplex 320, with the ATI sb600 chipset and SATA controller in
it, and I'm having some problems getting the system to boot after install.
I was able to get the install cd to recognize the drives with the parameter:
[CODE]
pci=nomsi[/CODE]
And I'm able to complete the install, and parition the drive, and everything
else looks ok.
BUT, when I go to boot the system, the grub boot menu comes up, and after I
choose my install, it hangs shortly after that, just before it starts
uncompressing the kernel, I believe.
The screen looks like this:
[CODE]Booting command-list
root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz=2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 pci=nomsi
rhgb quiet
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1b94fc]
[/CODE]
... and that's it! Also, I have gone into the command-line, and the command
blocklist <kernel-file>, it reads a few lines and then appears to hang/crash.
I'm not sure if this is a bug in the Dell BIOS, or something else.
Finally, I am able to get lilo to boot correctly, and I've tried grub (the fc6
version) on several other optiplex 320s, and they exhibit the same behavior.
Thanks
