the line says "root (hd0,2)" so ... in my view: this is correct, as it should be the second partition on hda... or is this entry zero-based? Then it might be (hd0,1), as the root partition should be mapped to /dev/sda2 when i change the settings in menu.lst, i do not need to do a update-grub or anything?
