I've already posted them:

-> /etc/fstab
LABEL=Cata              /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
LABEL=swap              swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

-> /boot/grub/grub.conf

I didn't tried that because at the boot time the first lines are:
   root (hd0,1)
   Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type is 0x83
so I was thinking grub saw that my root partition is ok.
Anyway, I tried now grub completion, and it keeps telling me:
   Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist
It complains about /boot/vmlinuz[...] filename, but when I hit Tab after 
'vmlinuz' word the filename appears automatically. Then, when I hit Tab 
again it gives me that error, and it keeps telling me about that 
everything I'm trying to do.
