      I think I use grub1 as well.
      Code:
      [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i grub
      grub-0.97-13.2
      [root@localhost ~]#
      but I don't have --device-map

      Does this install stage1?
      Code:
      grub --device-map=/dev/null --batch <<EOT
      device (hd0) /dev/loop0
      root (hd0,0)
      EOT

        You forgot a few commands, as you loop mount the device then copy stage1/2 and THEN you use that grub command. Read better next time.

I removed "rhgb" from my grub.conf and that was the last of it. The text boot might not be as pretty, but at least it lets me know WTF is going on.
          Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can press 'esc' to switch to and from text mode when booting in graphics mode.

            I understood those, so I just pasted the part that I hadn't seen before.

            What I don't understand is what happens when those 4 lines are executed.

            Comparing the first 446 bytes of stage1 with first 446 bytes of MBR gives that they are not the same.

            I would have expected that.
