That's where I was going. I've never seen a setup where everything
grub needs is not in /boot/grub (regardless or not whether /boot is a
separate partition. I presume from what you said earlier that
/boot/grub.conf is a symlink to /etc/grub.conf. This must be something
of a Redhatism. I would eliminate the symlink and copy /etc/grub.conf
to /boot/grub.conf. That's the only "sane" setup that I'm aware of.
