I think you'll need to edit the first and perhaps the second stanza
I've included below of your grub menu.lst file:
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specifiv kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
# kopt=root=/dev/hda3 vga=2 ro
## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,2)
The first stanza tells your kernel its root device while the second
tells grub where it should look for its files. The update-grub command
uses the first stanza while the grub-install script uses the second, I
believe.
