I am purely guessing here, but grub2 may use the same notation as grub.

no, GRUB 2 uses linux-like numbering.
In this context, the 'root' would probably be the same as in grub, it
specifies the root device for -grub-'s data (usually /boot).
What it specifies is where the paths are interpreted from. It's the equivalent of saying
menuentry "Ubuntu karmic (development branch), kernel 2.6.31-2-generic (on /dev/sda6)" {
linux (hd0,7)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-2-generic root=UUID=6ad1f928-50b9-4aea-9495-95df46d08d58 ro quiet splash
initrd (hd0,7)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-2-generic
}
Are your vmlinuz and initrd in fact on that partition and with those
exact names (not, say, with any of the version numbers increased, or,
on /dev/sda6...)

I have Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty as my main OS, where I have upgraded GRUB to
GRUB2. I have also installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on separate partitions. I am
trying to boot Kramic, I have a message that I need to load kernel first. It
looks like GRUB2 cannot find kernel. Probably the problem is that I have
/boot on a separate partition.
This is my config:
