Looks like hda3 is the /boot partition, unless you've accidentally made
the wrong partition active. I'd be guessing your partitions are
something like this:
hd0,0 or hda1 Windows
hd0,1 or hda2 something for Linux
hd0,2 or hda3 /boot
hd0,4 or hda5 logical volume containing / and most other partitions
And I'd expect grub.conf to be something like:
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-something ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
initrd /initrd-something.img
(With the "something" being whatever version numbers for your installed
kernel. Boot the rescue disc and list the contents of the partitions to
find what's on them.)
On the other hand, if hda2 is your /boot partition, try replacing "root
(hd0,2)" with "root (hd0,1)".

Huh? You've installed 4, this is 4, onto the same drive replacing it,
and you want us to help you get 3 back? How?
... Argh, top posting with lots of unnecessary extra included. It's a
bugger to read, and means huge bloated messages on a message list with
LOTS of traffic. Not a good thing. Trim out extra stuff, reply below
the parts you're directly replying to. It makes life easier for
everyone, particularly those most likely to help you.
