Now you're learning about grub... ;-)
More here: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/

Try this:
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-build-1)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-build-1 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet

The reason I asked about  the  'kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6'
entry is because my current grub.conf file has
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
and when i look in /boot , there's indeed a file called
'xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6'.Because of that I didnt think it would be
correct to add
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-build-1 , since there's no corresponding file
called "vmlinuz-2.6.18-build-1" in /boot.


Try this:
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-build-1)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-build-1 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet

Meaning I should not add the 2 entries for /module ?



if you build with initrd you will need the following too:
initrd /name_of_initrd.img
Although I suspect you do not have this....

I do not have this.I didnt see anything in the build instruction that
mentioned the need to build with initrd.Hmmm?
