You don't do this for grub. Grub reads the kernel from the file system.
It knows about ext2/ext3, xfs, etc.. From the messages, it seems that
the kernel and initrd are loaded. It just doesn't boot. This can happen
if the kernel image is corrupted.
What I would do is remove the save default option. I would also type in
the boot commands by hand on the command line. That is,
root(hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1-686 root=/dev/hdb7 single
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.11-1-686
boot
Maybe menu.lst got corrupted or something.
What is weird is that the root seems to be /dev/hdb1, but the root
partition is /dev/hdb7... I thought the days of a /boot partition were
long gone.
If this doesn't help, I would boot from the installation media and see
if the file system is still intact.
