Did you set the proper partition as bootable/active?

Also, I'd recommend this (assuming the files exist):


DEFAULT linux1

LABEL linux1
  # kernel image
  LINUX bzImage
  # initial ramdisk to boot a small liinux system on a USB
  INITRD initrd


As your first proposal shouldn't parse appropriately.  Also look at
the TIMEOUT and PROMPT directives.  Note that directives are
capitalized/indented only for clarity.
