Does it just show the word "Grub" and a blinking cursor?  You might have the same issue that I did.  My problem was solved by installing Grub manually.  The information on what to do can be found in the 3rd response on this thread.  :)

How do I do that ???

Did you edit menu.lst for GRUB to accomodate your needs?

It did not work

Code Sample
title DSL
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda2
initrd /boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz
makeactive
boot

I added those lines and remove the other.
I found them on the wiki

Just a question by the way : what does the swap partition do?

You said frugal. Which menu.lst did you edit? Was it /cdrom/boot/grub/menu.lst?
