These are the contents of my grub.conf, as written during install... they already point to (hd1,0). Any other ideas? :)

Oops, make that root (hd1,0) will you (:

Cheers,

It looks like there is some confusion here. I believe the location of the grub.conf is coded into the boot sector. Perhaps there is something wrong with the script that installs grub?

In any event, it shouldn't hurt anything to re-install Grub running grub-install /dev/hda in a terminal (as root of course), you might even want to do a linux rescue from an old boot CD, just to eliminate the install grub script duplicating the problem.
