Do some detective work to determine what grub's doing wrong or what 
wrong place it's pointing to for boot image.  

And then experiment:   Stop the boot process and manually change grub's 
boot command.  To do that, type  'e'  during the pause when grub's about 
to hand off the boot command.  Type    'e'  again to edit the command 
line, and then   'b'   to execute your customized command line.  Keep 
 trying till you find something that works, and then edit  
/boot/grub/menu.lst to suit.
