load error [SOLVED]

Hello
Just installed 0.7.2.
I followed the instructions that I found here:
http://wael.nasreddine.com/Articles/Art … Linux.html

Only difference is that I didn't install gnome stuff nor did I edit inittab at this time. Otherwise I tried followed it exactly. When pacman installed the new kernel, I didn't worry about lilo since I am using grub (installed to root directory-not mbr).
When everything finished and I finished following instructions, I rebooted and got "LOAD ERROR!", and nothing else.
Here is my menu.lst and fstab files:
# Config file for GRUB - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader
# /boot/grub/menu.lst

btw- I changed the img portion of menu.lst after reading here about using initrd26-full.img

What did I do wrong or what do I need to do?
Thanks.

Solved it myself by re-installing grub. Doesn't make sense, but that did it.
