If I add or delete a comment line in grub.conf, my system hangs with GRUB after reboot???

Hi,
I have a strange problem with grub.conf:
If I modify grub conf in any way, my system hangs with GRUB after reboot.
If I add an empty line just containing an '#' anywhere in the grub.conf,
it happens.
Even when I delete the line again, my system still hangs witg GRUB after
reboot.

The only way, I can make my system running is by restoring /hdb1 (the
/boot filesystem)

grub --version shows:
$ /sbin/grub --version
grub (GNU GRUB 0.95)

my grub.conf looks like:


#boot=/dev/hda
default=4
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.766_FC3 ro

        initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.766_FC3.img

        initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.741_FC3.img

        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00

        rootnoverify (hd0,0)

I have no problems booting any of the entries, but I cannot modify the
file at all:-(

Any hints?
