is this your grub.conf? or are you in the stages of installing grub?
if you're installing grub it should be like this
Code:

root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)


that'll put grub on the MBR (Master Boot Record)

After emerging grub, did you run:
Code:
grub
or:
Code:
grub-install

if you did all that and you are refering to grub.conf try making your setup like this:

title=<use your own title here>
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.7-r11 root=/dev/hda3
[/code]
Make sure thats the name of your kernel image, if you used genkernel that should be right but you need other arguments, but if you compiled it manually your bzImage will be moved to /boot as vmlinuz-2.6.7-r11 and I would look into that.

That error just means it can't find the kernel name you've specified. Have a look at what it's actually called. :wink:

Have you read this thread?
Try the tab completion feature of grub to find out the filename of the kernel image. Most likely you misspelled it in grub.conf
