Awesome! Thanks for the pointer.
Having a look at the logs I am beginning to get an idea of the problem.
I had played around with the location of /boot - moved some files around
etc - and that was causing a problem. For instance /etc/grub.conf wasn't
readable coz I didn't realize it was a symlink to the file
in /boot/grub/grub.conf.

Wow, that bad eh.
Thanks again for the pointers. I think I've got a start on what the
problem is.
