menu.lst is correct, that should contain what otheus was requesting...

I would be interested in seeing that file myself.

Your previous post...

seems to say that your menu.lst points to an incorrect imitrd.img.

For instance my menu.lst says:

Code:
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9-5.0.3.EL)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9-5.0.3.ELsmp)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.0.3.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.0.3.ELsmp.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9-5.ELsmp)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.ELsmp.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES-up (2.6.9-5.EL)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img

notice that the last line (for reading sake) says "initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img" and my "initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img" file is located in "/boot/initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img".

Code:
# ls -l /boot/initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img
-rw-rw-r--  1 root root 489486 Mar  9  2005 /boot/initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img
