If you mean that you typed the lines I gave above into grub.conf, then that was not what was intended (and I doubt that it would work). My intent was that you get the system booted and running normally (perhaps via the rescue disk), and after that execute 'grub' interactively and issue those commands.

As you said, I booted the system via rescue disk, and execute grub and issue those commands. Then, I reboot the system, but it does not boot.
Then I searched on google about logging grub errors, which I could not find anything useful (meybe I did not look enough). So that, in rescue system, I execute grub and type commands in grub.conf (results are below) to see which error occurs.
