It looks like you've used an automatic translation program to
translate your message into English. I cannot understand what you're
asking, and it also appears to have added extra spaces to your code
for the grub.cfg. If the only other option is to use an automatic
translator, it's better to just send a message in your native language
and let us translate it if needed.

I'm guessing though that your main problem is that you haven't defined
any menu entries. Try a grub.cfg like:

menuentry "GNU/Linux" {
  linux (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=/dev/sdb1
  initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
}

But it's also better to use UUID's instead of static device names, so
this is better:

menuentry "GNU/Linux" {
  search --set=root --fs-uuid UUID_HERE
  linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=UUID_HERE
  initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
}
