Your root line says that the root filesystem can be found on disk 7, 
partition 0 (1st partition).  Your kernel line says /dev/sdg6 which is 
your 7th disk, partition 5 (6th partition).  Is this a mismatch?  Should 
it have read /dev/sdg1?  Only you know how your disk is partitioned.

It looks to me like (hd6, 0) is your /boot partition. (?)

My grub.conf has a root (hd1, 1) because my root partition is /dev/hdb2 
and my kernel line has root=/dev/hdb2 in it.
