Using the live cd is a good idea you edit the files that way also.

Check out grub.conf and make sure the root is right. From the FC2 systems I see 
this comment left by anaconda when it wrote the grub.conf

#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/ida/c0d0p5
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/ida/c0d0

[Not sure if the G4 uses /dev/ida or some other thing.]

modprobe.conf has this line

alias scsi_hostadapter cpqarray


[EMAIL PROTECTED] mgt]# lsmod | grep cpqarray
cpqarray               23205  5


It's possible that grub can find the boot info but once the it starts to mount 
stuff it dies? Not sure but make sure it knows abount the cpqarray driver 
atleast.
