Used only ext2, not tried ext3.  Probably no other useful filesystem is
supported.

Check if these files exist.  It's probably not a filesystem issue since
grub from the same one boots (with the second syntax).  root=/dev/hda3
should be replaced by root=/dev/sda3 with modern kernels (2.6.37 or
later?).  Not using rootdelay.  (The initrd lines are unnecessary,
although this isn't the problem.)
