For eg: I have:
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.681_FC3)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet acpi=off
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.img

Notice the 'initrd' line - which you don't appear to have. 

And the sugestion was to post the 'complete' contents of grub.conf (to
see if this indeed was the error)
