Hi

I am sorry , while doing copy/paste the commentes sign (#) was delted. So the 
it should be there.

That is why i had sent the *df -h*  display, as i had the confusion..
I am giving once again..Here is the display ::

[root at server grub]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2              27G  1.7G   24G   7% /
/dev/hda1              99M  9.0M   85M  10% /boot
none                  220M     0  220M   0% /dev/shm

So it shows, the /boot is under /dev/hda1..

>>Third, in the "kernel" line, I don't believe that the qualifier
"root=LABEL=/" 
>>is correct. It is my understanding that "root=" should be directing grub to 
>>the root partition, i.e., root=/dev/hda2, root=/dev/hda3, etc.

i agree with you .

Anyway i have made as follows: pl, correct me..

There was another line *splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz* , i have
removed the line
