Note that the kernel installed by the install system is 2.6.8. The one
that I compile (in this case without changes) is also 2.6.8. I don't
think the setting kopt_2_4_6=root=/dev/hda1 will solve the problem.

I think that the delimiters ##... (for entries at the end of menu.lst)
may be a problem. The installer should NOT place entries between them.
Grub should only change things within them. Could that be a solution?
