    The last installation I did of Debian, using a "Sarge" cd and
    downloading the necessary stuff from the Internet as it was required
    went amazingly well (I am _very_ impressed by Debian). Now if I could
    only get past the following hurdle: when re-starting, Grub comes up,
    allows booting Windows (XP) but if I choose Linux I get this:
    - Booting `Debian Gnu/Linux, kernel 2.4.18-386`
    - root (hd0,0)
    - Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xb
    - kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro
    - Error 15: File not found
    - Press any key...

    Next, since Grub allows editing the commands it is about to execute, I
    looked and saw:
    - root (hd0,0)
    - kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro
    - initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-386
    - savedefault

    Using SimpleMepis (also Debian based), I see that the files vmlinuz- and
    initrd.img do exist.
    So why the error 15?
