I have to admit it. One of Karl's posts got me thinking in a different
direction. It appears that my separate /boot partition was indeed
confusing things. I tried installing with just a /, /usr and /home
partition and was successful. It looks like I was locked into my redhat
6.0 and 7.3 mindset. It looks like I'll have to keep up on linux
developments more closely.

Iprobably will. First, however, I would like to know if I have an isolated
case. Searching the archives is a royal pain but I see a thread here that
may solve that problem. I also want to see if a bug has already been
filed.

I have a new computer, where I installed 7.10 with a separate boot, root
and home partition. Yes, the old Slackware, SuSe, Debian way. It worked
out of the box for me, no bugs.

BTW, this computer came without any OS installed.

Just FYI, using Google with the search term(s) plus the constraint
"site:lists.ubuntu.com" works well. That is, something like this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=boot+partition+site%3Alists.ubuntu.com
