Maybe something was just odd enough to make it throw a rod. Who knows; I
don't trust installers as far as I can throw them.
Guessing worked well so far, so I'll keep going. Your configuration file
refers to (hd0,2)/vmlinuz (i.e. /boot/vmlinuz) and (hd0,0)/initrd.img
(i.e. /initrd.img) . I'm suspicious of /initrd.img . Is this the
locations of these two files? I think you just above said it's on /boot,
which would make that (hd0,2) instead of (hd0,0).
