If you want to boot KolibriOS with GRUB, you need to do this:

Install Syslinux.
Copy /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk to /boot
Point your config "root"-entry to your FAT or NTFS-partition, where the image resides, and write the kernel-entry with (hd0,0)/boot/memdisk or where ever your linux partition is.
Add these lines to your grub.conf:

Code:

label KoOS
  root (hd0,0)  # edit this to your correct partition, given example is hda1
  kernel /boot/memdisk
  initrd /boot/kolibri.img
