Have you tried this:
cd /boot/grub
mv menu.lst grub.conf
ln -s grub.conf menu.lst
(This will make it look like it does on my Red Hat system. I think the
grub.conf name is built in to grub...)
I was sorry not to be able to make it to the conference, especially as
I'm close by - too busy at work this week. Maybe next time.
