ah, I forgot that I could check update.log. I've put a copy in
/mit/kchen/Public/update.log.
It looks like the SCSI problem I reported and this problem are related.
+ kernel ###########################################No
module advansys found for kernel 2.4.21-15.EL, aborting.

and later, near the end:

While I don't have a copy of my original grub.conf, it should be pretty
similar to my current one (now that I fixed it):
# grub.conf created by Linux Athena installer
