Not quite, grub will work with either a grub.conf or the older menu.lst file
for configuration. Please post the contents of your configuration, if the
following suggestion doesn't help
One thought, maybe your grub didn't get installed properly. Try this
1. enter 'grub'
2. enter 'root (hd0,0) presumes your /boot is on hda1 (otherwise change)
3. enter 'setup (hd0)'
4. reboot
If you are not using hda1, but rather hdb1, etc., change the root line to read
('root (hd1,0)' etc.).
This will reset the internal pointer that grub uses to find the partition
where grub.conf (or menu.lst) and the other grub files live.
HTH.
