The failure is an out of memory error while attempting to load the kernel....
Can you try the grub 0.93 cvs snap package at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/grub/grub-0.93-0.20021001.i386.rpm? It doesn't have splash screen support, but this should be fixed (large chunks of code have been rewritten and are supposed to have a fix for the problem)
Yep, that fixes it....
