root(hd0, 0) points to the first partition on your first hard drive, you
want the 6th partition, which is (hd0, 5).  The partitions are numbered
from 0 in grub.  If you look at it, you are telling grub that your linux
kernel is located on the same partition as your windows kernel.  Anyway,
that should clear up your problem.
