This is my grub.conf entry:

Note the missing /boot before the kernel?  If you have /boot on a
separate partition, you need to remove the /boot and make it read
something like kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 ro root=/dev/sda2  Keep
in mind, the root partition is not mounted when it loads the kernel. 
That is mounted later.

I hope that helps.
