If your kernel is in /boot, and /boot is /dev/[hs]da1, then your grub.conf should say /vmlinuz, not /boot/vmlinuz.

| the easiest way to find out the correct partition is to reboot your machine. Then when grub doesn't find your kernel, go into the edit mode and type "kernel (hd" and then start using the auto-completion option (with TAB key). Sometimes grub and your bios rename drives in wierd ways. But with the auto completion you can be sure to get it right |
