I believe there was some other problem. The conf file points to /vmlinux because that is a symlink to whatever kernel has been installed. It should work even if you change it back to device=hd: image=/vmlinux partition=11 root=/dev/hda11 (which is how I assume it was before). If not, please get back to us. Otherwise, this bug can be closed.
