Whenever someone has Grub problems it'd be a good idea to not only post grub.conf but more importantly infos about the disk layouts (and fstab to round it up). In your case there seems to be a couple of things to verify. I assume that Grub didn't come up with its initial dialog? That usually means that it couldn't find /boot/grub/grub.conf using it's stage drivers in /boot/grub. With root (hd0,1) you force Grub to load an OS from the second partition of your first physical disk. Does /dev/hda4 reflect this situation? So in short: you have to tell Grub where to find /boot/grub/grub.conf But for detailed forensics I'd need more intel.
