| Does this entry work for you? It did not work for me, so I ended up with this:

It might work for him if he doesn't need to specify any kernel
arguments (I have never seen a system without a 'root=' argument
though)

| title Debian GNU/Linux 2.2.17
| root (hd1,0)
| kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 hdd=ide-scsi root=/dev/hdb1
| 
| Which works fine. Before it didn't seemed unable to use:
| 
| kernel /vmlinuz
| 
| because it is a symlink? Also root (hd1,1) failed to work.

No, the symlink should be no problem.  

(hd1,1) would fail on your system because that is /dev/hdb2 --
remember that grub uses 0-based indexing for everything.
