GRUB won't remember!

This is a simple problem, yet I cannot work it out.

I have GRUB install on the MBR. I have 3 partitions- one with Windows, one with RH and one with Knoppix.

I just installed Vector over the Knoppix partition (formatted it). Now I have changed my menu.lst to point the Vector kernel and root parition (I mounted the /boot parition from Debian and edited the menu.lst)

The problem is that now with GRUB is that it still says 'title Knoppix', even though I have set the parameters properly. I get an error and is still thinking the partition it is pointing to is ext2 (when it is ext3 now).

RH and Windows still boot fine. So I decided I'll go the command line and re-write it back to the HDD. I did a 'setup(hd0)' and re-wrote it to the MBR. What the...Still says knoppix when title is now Vector, and still thinking it is type ext2.

The problem is it still is using my old configuration, and doesn't want to use my updated menu.lst file. I am a little unsure? What do would you recommend?
 
Well..found the problem. Somehow the simlink between the menu.lst and grub.conf was gone. Created a simlink and edit the grub.conf to be the same.
