Do you have labels on your boot volumes? grub should point to the
label. e.g.
title Tao Linux (2.6.9-34.0.1.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL ro root=LABEL=/1 norhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.img
So make sure you've got both the correct root and LABEL options
correctly specified.
