Yes, the kernel & initrd are on the disk that the emergency boot disk looks
for (normally it accesses your existing /boot for that).
So you can boot from a floppy and all works well, but when you boot with grub
on mbr of /dev/hda it fails? (yea, I missed that)
Based on that, your grub.conf must be working correctly, so, try this:
-boot with the RH install cd (at prompt "linux rescue "
-follow the prompts and allow it to mount your existing system (/mnt/sysimage)
-chroot /mnt/sysimage
-grub-install /dev/hda
-exit
That will put a fresh grub instance on the mbr that will reference your
existing /boot
