Oh, and your initrd line is wrong, too. When /dev/hdc1 is your
/boot partition, the corresponding GRUB entry should be
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img
because it is relative to root (hd1,0) = /dev/hdc1.
The complete entry:
# section to load linux
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 root=/dev/hdc3
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img
