Here's a question -- does grub work yet if your boot device is >2TB?  I 
just ran into this issue on RHEL4.  sda on my system is a ~3TB hardware 
RAID5 (3ware).  I put a couple of small partitions at the beginning of the 
disk for /, /var, and the like, the install seemed to go fine, but 
afterward it wouldn't boot.  Booting into rescue mode and trying commands 
from the grub prompt seems to indicate that the disk is too big for grub.

A simple 'lilo' in rescue mode made the system bootable.
