RHEL/CentOS 5's GRUB is buggy, in that it doesn't always read the whole of the BIOS's memory map. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445893 and in particular comment 7 where there's a link to a replacement GRUB which incorporates the patch that was first offered to Red Hat in July 2007. The issue likely affects other distros GRUBs too, since GRUB is moribund.
Cheers,
John.
