Afair error 15=file not found. means your root partition is not set
properly in grub. Note grub partition numbers begin with zero so if
root is on first ide drive first partition your grub menu.lst
would look like
title deb-2.6.10
root(hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz boot=/dev/hda1 dma acpi append="whatever"
here is my menu.lst
root (hd0,4)
boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
#splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title deb-2.6.10
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda5 idebus=66 append="hdd=ide-scsi dma
apm=power-off"
#the above line is one line
title Debian-2.4.24 (reiser)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz.old ro root=/dev/hda5 append="hdd=ide-scsi"
#initrd /boot/initrd
title win
root (hd0,1)
# hide (hd0,4)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
#title LTSP

You dont need to reload grub once it is installed, just edit
/boot/grub/menu.lst

grub is altogether more flexible particularly if you muck around with
drives and kernels and distros. Me loves grub.
