Sigh.
That may or may not be the problem.
1. The syntax is:
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30.2-lfs65" {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,2)
linux /boot/vmlinux-2.6.32.7-lfs-SVN-201002011 root=/dev/sda2 ro
}
Note the quotes around the title. Note the braces. Is that so hard?
2. The command is 'set root', not 'root'. The 'set root' command points
to the drive where GRUB should look for the kernel. If it's a
dedicated partition, the linux line should not have /boot because the
partition is mounted *after booting* at /boot.
If its not a dedicated partition, it should be /boot/vmlinux...
That may not be so obvious, but it is explained in the book.
3. Is the kernel name really 'vmlinux...' That depends on what the
user did after the kernel build. We don't know from what has been
posted. What is the output from `ls /boot`
4. What is the filesystem for /dev/sdc2? That is, from the host
system, what is the result of `blkid | grep /dev/sdc2`?
5. What was the full grub.cfg file?
6. Was the test procedure in the book run? At a minimum GRUB2 should
have come up and offered the user a chance to go to the command prompt.
