p.s:the 5 seconds of the grub loading is intended do take the user the time to chose different boot,this value is set in your /boot/grub/menu.lst
hope this 'll help you !bye

Thank you for your help.
Sorry if I did not explain my fstab settings.
Here it is

It is possible that something here may be wrong.
About my attempt to hit the "return key", it does not work 100% today. I had to do a reset when it freeze, then reboot as a single user, hit the return key as soon as possible. Afterwards a new reboot was successful.
About initrd, I am using lenny "out of the box". I mean I made no change in the startup. About grub, here is the end of menu.lst file:
