Ok..
Uh, Its a "little" better.
It is now rewriting /etc/fstab with /dev/hda or /dev/sda depending on which
is which, but it isnt updating my /etc/grub.conf or my /boot/grub/grub.conf
(menu.lst symlink).
Basically the system works entirely except it isnt writing the grub.conf,
any more ideas anyone??
What I mean by that is, if I install on SATA drive, then this is in
/etc/grub.conf
title CentOS (2.6.9-22.0.2-EL)
root(hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.0.2.EL ro root=/dev/sda3
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-22.0.2.EL.img
but if i then IMAGE this image onto an IDE drive, the kernel line is no
longer valid, it needs to change to /dev/hda3.
Any ideas??

I thought I told you on IRC that there is a more patched up version ;-)
Try the one in the OSCAR repo and see if it is any better...
Cheers,
Bernard

Bernard, I am using this one:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=24006
Is that not the current version?
