This is my grub.conf:
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
password --md5 *****************************
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/1

initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title Gentoo
root (hd1,0)
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb3
hdc=ide-scsi vga=ask
This is my device.map:
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/hdb

Is your kernel image really located in /dev/hdb1? That is where grub is
looking in this case. If you've got a separate partition for /boot, say
/dev/hdb2, then grub's root would (hd1,1). In grub, primary partitions
are counted from zero and extended partitions from 4.

If /boot is in /:
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb3 hdc=ide-scsi vga=ask
else if /boot is separate partition (/dev/hdb2 for example):
root (hd1,1)
kernel bzImage root=/dev/hdb3 hdc=ide-scsi vga=ask

Ah yes! My mistake, I do have a separate boot
partition. I guess I shouldn't be doing this stuff at
11:00 at night. Thanks for the help!
