XP Pro NTFS and Red Hat Boot with Grub on Seperate Drives
I've updated my friend's kernel to 2.6.5. 2.6.x doesn't allow boot disks, which was how he booted before. Windows XP Pro is on the first hard drive and uses NTFS. Red Had 9 is on the second hard drive. I've installed Grub on the MBR of /dev/hda, but whenever it boots, it shows error code 21, on stage 1.5, meaning "unknown boot error".
fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

The Grub config file:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd1,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb3
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
