Perhaps something was wrong with the way you edited menu.lst. What you need
to do is go into the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST section, and edit the lines
beginning with only one hash -- those are the default settings. Don't delete
the lines or remove the single leading hash.
Then run update-grub again.

That isn't a problem. It means his grub root is /dev/hda1, so he should use
root (hd0,0)
as the first line in menu.lst.
The kernel line should read
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-whatever root=/dev/hda5 ro
or something like that.
