I think you may have to chroot into the Linux installation before setting  
up GRUB if the installed version is not the same as the one on the CD.  
GRUB will crap out if stage1 and stage2 are from different versions.

You did not show the contents of grub.conf, so we will just have to assume  
it is correct.


It is not clear to me exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Do you  
want GRUB to chain-load Vista, or do you want the Vista loader to  
chain-load GRUB?
