Sorry, just a lazy typo.  It is in /boot/grub/grub.conf or else the
completion on boot up at grub console wouldn't work as I described
above.
[at grub console]
kernel /kern<tab>

completes to the correct kernel.

Maybe I'm missing something here but this doesn't look any different
than what I posted, with the exception of removing the top line:
  `boot=/dev/hda'

Yes, it is genkernel.  I meant to mention that.  I was quoting the
content of .config from the one left behind by genkernel.  Sorry it
seemed to imply I'd done it by hand.

But trying this anyway and it didn't seem to make one bit of
difference.

I still get the grub command line and have to load my kernel and boot
with:

 => kernel /kernel<tab>
 => boot

Ahaa now this was a problem.  Is that supposed to be a lower case ell
(l) or a one (1)?  Yours appears to be an el.  That is what I had too
but I changed it to one (1) and tried it that way too.  But I still
get the same behavior.  ls -l shows:
/boot/grub/menu.lst../boot/grub/menu.lst -> /boot/grub/grub.conf
(changed back to lower case el as it should be...)

None of this seems to have helped at all.
