Whoop, Whoop... error, error!
change the entry to this:
title Debian test system, kernel 2.4.27-1-386
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz=2.4.27-1-386 root=/dev/hda7 ro
savedefault
boot
Grub starts from 0. So:
/dev/hda1 == (hd0,0)
/dev/hda2 == (hd0,1)
/dev/hda3 == (hd0,2)
/dev/hda4 == (hd0,3)
/dev/hda5 == (hd0,4)
/dev/hda6 == (hd0,5)
/dev/hda7 == (hd0,6)
That would definitely make a difference.
