I have two grub.conf files... one in /boot/grub and
other in /etc.
just check it out which one is to be used...

This command should be something like this root(hd0,4)
this will point to the boot directory on the first
extended partition. For more info try "info grub".

[Snip]
For this command , u want that the vmlinuz should be
from knoppix installation.... and using this
consideration and ur partition table, u should be
using this
kernel (hd0,8) /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda9
Well i think this should do.........

This error is self explanatory , that some file was
not available
Then why are you asking "what is the problem" :d

I think with those changes , it should work. And if
not then read the man page of grub.
Try reading man pages , they have got lot of
information.
