That's not a GRUB thing. It's only if you want to use an initrd. LILO has the same thing - you can specify an initrd image with the initrd= paramter in lilo.conf. If you don't want an initrd, just leave it out.

in default grub.conf (generated in installation)
it is like this
kernel /vmlinuz.bla.bla ro root=LABEL=/
i add another one in the same way (without initrd)
kernel /bzImage ro root=LABEL=/
it didnt boot, i deleted root=LABEL=/
then it worked.
i did not understand whyHave a nice day

Those disk labels always mess stuff up. Don't use them at all is my suggestion.
