People having boot problems with IBM servers, like we've had
in the past when using SystemImager to reinstall a Linux server,
may be interested in reading the following notice published by
IBM today:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-66117
Symptom:
"After installing Linux on a system with a hard drive which has
previously been installed with another operating system, the Linux
operating system may fail to boot correctly. The error may be seen
as the boot loader not appearing or only partially loading."

The workaround is to overwrite the disk MBR, which I believe
is actually done in recent versions of SystemImager.
