With PCLinuxOS installed and its Grub Legacy as the primary bootloader, the entry below directly boots Linux Mint on my machine. You will have to change the root line from (hd0,6) to whatever is the correct partition. Remember Grub Legacy counts both drives and partitions from zero. You will also need to replace the UUID- with the correct one for that partition on your computer. Copying the menuentry from Mints grub.cfg won't work. Just copy the vmlinuz and uuid parts as shown below and you need to use 'kernel' rather than 'linux' as in Grub2.

initrd (hd0,6)/boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic

Simpler to just chainload as below, either way should work and you will get the Mint grub boot screen, make sure you get the correct drive/partition since this is Grub Legacy, both start with zero so the entries below are for sda7 and sda12 respectively:
Quote:
title Mint-17-Mate
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
title Mint Mate sda12
root (hd0,11)
chainloader +1

I'd been chainloading the Grub2 systems and was surprised the first entry above worked but, it did.
