I've installed grub-1.99 on /dev/sda, root partition is on /dev/sda2, jfs formatted. Kernel and initramfs is located in /boot.
It have such files:
initramfs -> initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.38-hardened-r6
initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.38-hardened-r6
kernel -> kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.38-hardened-r6
kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.38-hardened-r6
(initramfs and kernel are symlinks).
When I'm trying to boot. GRUB complains:
error: cannot follow symlink `kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.38-hardened-r6'.

It also do not understand symlink:
kernel-dot -> ./kernel-...
This symlinks it accepted and booted normally.
kernel-abs -> /boot/kernel-...
kernel-boot -> boot/kernel-...
