Thanks, I did manage to get it to work.  I'm suprised that's all it was, I 
was sure I tried that and it failed.  Another way I found was to just use 
the following:

rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

This is like with all other OS's such as Windows, DOS. It'll load grub 
again from the linux partition, but it works fine.  timeout can be set to 
0 from the linux grub so it won't display another menu.

Thanks for the help..
