First command disappears from script

The first line of one of my menu entries (the one for Windows 2000) seems not to be picked up by GRUB. Here is my menu.lst file (linked to grub.conf):

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Linux (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img

title Windows 2000
root(hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

When GRUB starts, the linux commands are fine. However, checking the commands for the Windows 2000 entry shows only:

makeactive
chainloader +1

which of course doesn't work when executed because of the missing root command. If I use the command editing facilities and add the "root (hd0,5)" back into the script and then boot, it works fine.

Why won't the config stick?

Cheers,
Raman
