= wrong kernel name

try: 'kernel (hd0,0)/boot/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda2'

On a side note:
You asked about the "boot -> ." symlink in your previous thread, this is a 
convenience thing for users like you.

You have a seperate /boot partition /dev/hda1 with the kernel.
But you tell grub the kernel is at "(hd0,0)/boot/<kernel>"
This maps to /dev/hda1/boot/<kernel>

By linking "boot -> ." grub can still find the kernel even though the config 
is wrong.
