Hello!

IIRC, sometime ago (may be a long time) someone on this list reported similar 
problem.
Try to search through the archives.
If I'm right, it had something to do with incorrect grub configuration file, 
but I can be mistaken. "Incorrect" in this case means wrong syntax 
(unneccessary space or another symbol placed somewhere) - not wrong partition 
setup.

Anyway, take a look at your grub.conf and if it's allright, search the 
archives for your problem.

HTH,
Dmitry.
