Maybe you can give us an output of linux 'fdisk -l' and furthermore
a listing of your '/boot/grub/menu.lst'.

How did you map the harddisks in GRUBs menu.lst?
WDC AC22100H ATA hard drive
channel: secondary
role: master
Linux device: /dev/hdc
^^^^^^^^
GRUB drive: 0x80 (hd0)
^^^^
geometry: 4092/16/63 (C/H/S)
primary partition:
Linux device: /dev/hdc
^^^^^^^^
GRUB drive: (hd0,0)
filesystem: ReiserFS (0x83)
^^^^
Is the whole disk one partition?
If so, where is the swap partition?
