Are you using Grub? Because that's the only supported loader.

No, I was asking about the Linux bootloader, not the server boot mechanism.

Still isn't answering the question. The bootloader is a piece of Linux code which loads the OS from the boot sector. The most popular ones are GRUB and LILO, but only GRUB is supported.
