trying a couple of suggested options, I get the following:

Not sure where to go from here other than disabling the EIDE drive and trying from scratch. Any help greatly appreciated.
When you are at the grub prompt, try running find /boot/vmlinuz Hopefully that'll give you a path to the kernel. Then you should be able to boot using kernel (hdX,X)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 initrd (hdX,X)/boot/initrd where hdX,X is what the find command tells you. Then once you have a running system, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to change the kernel and initrd position to where it actually is
