I don't see any errors from what you posted.
I normally do something like this to use grub in my mbr....

Code:
grub
grub> root (hd0,6)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd0)
....
.... bunch of stuff here
....

grub> quit

On most distros the grub configuration file is /boot/grub/menu.lst. Your kernel should be in /boot on whichever partition you are using as the root partition.

You are the one who is supposed to know your partitioning layout and which partition you used for / or /boot where the kernel normally resides.

Anyway you shouldn't even need to mess around with your grub or kernel settings. Just boot the system in rescue mode and do "grub-install /dev/hda".

Boot from some live distro.

chroot to that mount point
as a root:
grub-install /dev/hda (or any other HD u want to boot from)
