Hi Benj,
I have the normal entries in the grub.conf file. I have not looked at
the menu.lst file. Doesn't GRUB overwrite the MBR? If it does how would
the BIOS be able to find Windows with out GRUB?
Thanks,
Ron

I tried your suggestion, and the system gave me the following message:
" Up2date:
System registered, but inactive
Invalid Architecture and OS release combination (3WS,
i686-redhat-linux)"
What does this message mean ?
The system is a:
HP ProLiant DL360G4p/X3000 2MB 800 1GB (380324-421)
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Best regards.

Anything that says "Beta" isn't a base channel (afaik). The base
channels (for entitlement purposes) are just named "Red Hat Enterprise
Linux WS/ES/AS", and if your entitlement list is like mine it's so long
that those show up on the second page.

I've seen this before, and always ended up (a) deleting the system from
rhn, then (b) re-registering it with up2date --register. Maybe there's
a "better" approach, but this one is expedient, and has always worked.
;-)

Beats me. My guess would be it thinks you have too many processors, WS
is only good for up to 2 processors, but hyper-threading isn't supposed
to count, so that should be ok. I'd contact tech support at this point
- there's a reason you're paying for this subscription. ;-)

Ron,
What do you have in your /boot/grub/menu.lst? Also, If you
set the 1st hd to boot (namely using windows bootloader
instead of going through grub), will it get into windows?

There is 2 processors in this system.
OK.
Thanks a lot for your answers.
