I vote for reinstalling it, it sounds like something's missing.

Is this an exact copy? Some things look wrong, like 

 splashimage=)hd0,3)

The parentheses are all weird, it should be

 splashimage=(hd0,3)

And this should be all on one line:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi

I think the splashimage line is the showstopper; fix that and see what 
happens.
