Grub desperate need help

Hello,

I've installed openSUSE 10.2 in a second hard drive in my computer and
grub does not work properly. I have the following setup files:

grub.conf

sgmtech:/home/andreltr # more /etc/grub.conf
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (hd1,4)
quit

menu.lst

sgmtech:/home/andreltr # more /boot/grub/menu.lst

default 0
timeout 8
gfxmenu (hd1,4)/boot/message

device.map

sgmtech:/home/andreltr # more /boot/grub/device.map
(hd1) /dev/hdb
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda

This is the configuration I've tried as well:

grub> root (hd1,4)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd1)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)"... 15 sectors are
embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+15 p (hd1,4)/boot/
grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... su
cceeded
Done.

grub> quit

The BIOS setup is:

CDROM
HDD-1
HDD-2

Any suggestion on how to solve this please?

Thank you,

André Luiz
