"Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)"




This indicates that the kernel is not able to find the root partition.
and that the kernel has already booted - most likely not a problem with GRUB.

title Linux
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 showopts
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd

title 2.6.8.1-Palm
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-Palm showopts
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.8.1-Palm




Your partition table suggests that there are two different partitions for '/boot'
and '/'. The GRUB loads the kernel from '/boot' which is (hd0,0) but the
kernel is unable to find the '/' partition. You may pass it using the parameter
root=/dev/hda3.

That should work.
