With the exception of the line "root (hd0.4)"
and the order of default and time out it is the same as mine.
Your line "root(hd0,0)" seems a bit unusually are you using the correct 
partition?  at a guess I would suggest changing it to "root(hd0,1)" 
unless you know it should be another partition such as in my case when 
it is 4
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
#          root (hd0,4)
#          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda5
#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
