you should probably check to make sure that...
1 - there is an initrd for the win4lin in the /boot directory for
mandriva
2 - that the name of the initrd matches the name of the initrd called
for in the grub.lst
3 - that your win4lin is a properly installed kernel...
ls -ld /lib/modules/win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk # that it actually exists
and
rpm -qa|grep win4lin-2.6.12-12mdk # that the kernel actually exists
