Anyone have any suggestions why Grub won't boot a hard drive?

Installed and working system.
Rebooted several times during installation.

Grub boots up to 1.5 then stops at a grub prompt.

root (hd0,0) reports ext2 filesystem
kernel (hd0,0)/v {followed by tab key shows vmlinuz file, so
files are there}

kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz {fails with error 15 - file not
found}


Using TAB to complete the filename in "kernel ... /vm..." command fails
with same error.

Is it not finding the vmlinuz file or some other file?

Maybe /vmlinuz is a symbolic link to a file that does not exist?
