The Linux kernel can't find /sbin/init on the root partition. This
probably means that /dev/hda8 is not the root partition. It should be
/dev/hda10 for you, but if it doesn't work, it's unlikely that Linux
is properly installed on your system.
/dev/hda8 may be the /boot partition, which is not the root partition.
Try:
grub> root (hd0,7)
grub> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda10
grub> boot
Enjoy GNU software !
