your problem, most probably must be with the MBR. There could be two options, one to re-install and the other without reinstalling. Option Reinstall: Reinstall the system and define GRUB/LILO to be installed on the MBR instead of the boot partition. But still create the /boot partition. Option NoReinstall: Boot from the linux cd. on the prompt type: # linux rescue # chroot /mnt/sysimage # /sbin/grub-install /dev/hdx where x stands for a,b,c,d depending upon your ide disk(if yes) to be master/slave,primary/secondary..
