So this means, that TrustedGRUB does not load "grub.conf"... hmmm...
Do you have a symlink pointing from "menu.lst" to "grub.conf"?
And can you actually "cat" the grub.conf within the TrustedGRUB shell?
If so, than it is not a filesystem issue.

Could you send me the output of

# fdisk -l /dev/sda

If you - for instance - have a dedicated boot-partition, then maybe a
symlink is missing pointing from "/" to "boot".

For Example:

My hdd-layout looks similar to this

/dev/sda1   *          63      224909      112423+  83  Linux --> boot
/dev/sda2          224910    17012834     8393962+  83  Linux --> tmp
/dev/sda3        17012835   100920329    41953747+  83  Linux --> root

The boot partition is mounted under /boot, such that the grub.conf is in
/boot/grub/grub.conf during installation.
However at boot time in TrustedGRUB it is located at (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf

If you create a symlink from "." to "boot", then it is also possible to
load (hd0,0)/boot/grub/grub.conf

# mount /dev/sda1 /boot
# cd /boot
# ln -s . boot

Maybe it is just that.
