The problem is that /vmlinuz is a link to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 and
/boot is a separate partition. So grub whould have to parse /etc/fstab
which it is not able to. That's why a separate /boot partition is
sick when using grub - at least for the current grub. The developers
seem to be very engaged ...
Kind regards
Andreas.
