Looks like your MBR might have been corrupted. This should not have
happened, but CentOS 4 yum update once corrupted my "rpm" package. I
still couldn't figure out how that happened.
Before you take the easy way out by reinstalling the CentOS, I suggest
you try to repair the MBR using the emergency disc (CentOS disc #1).
Basically this involves booting from your emergency disc, chrooting into
your root partition, then executing the grub-install command.
I don't have time to go through the detailed steps, but you may want to
bring your computer to Michael's lab. He has generously set up a time
slot of between 10:00 to 12:00 this (probably every) Saturday doing pro
bono Linux tech consulting work. Wayne

Youch!
Older NEC 333 MHz, 192 MB RAM PC had been
chugging along with CentOS 4 until I ran
up2date. After retrieving all 119 MB of
openoffice.org-il8n-1.1.2..., PC hung
(mouse/KB nonresponsive). Reboot yielded
"Press <Ctrl-B> to select MBA boot method [2
options] (Default is PXE)".
Option 1 for boot using TriROM:
"MSD: no reply, then Rx2 Rx2 ...
File server could not be found"
Option 2 using Preboot Execution Environment
(PXE):
"DHCP MAC ADDR: 00 10 4B 39 03 D0
PXE-E52: No IP address received from DHCP or
BOOTP.
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE.
Operating System not found"
Any suggestions, before I reinstall OS?
Might I have been running up against a
memory shortage on the package retrieval?
TIA,
Blake
