Hello If from a live cd you could just give us a few details ..

• the contents of your menu.lst
• the contents of your / etc / fstab
• the return of the command (as root) "fdisk-l"
• the return of the command "ls / [chemain or you set up your partition] / boot"

Then with this we will be able to help you thank

did you have your boot partition mounted and run /sbin/lilo or /sbin/grub depending on your boot loader after using genkernel?

You can Fixed this by doing a text-based grub install off the 6.10 cd. After going through the language settings, hit escape to get to the main menu. Select "install grub" and it will bring up the partitioner. Set the correct mount points in the partitioner, and make sure that the partitions will NOT be formatted. It will then say something about installing a base system, hit escape or no. It should then go to the grub install prompt. Do that, reboot, done.

Hello , have you made you change your partition recently? your root partition is still sda8? according to your fstab and menu.lst tone is in your root partition sda8 ... mmust be amended as follows and it should work without problems ... perhaps the home and swap, which are not prominently change the number following the sda in your fstab ... simplify your fstab and menu.lst tone for the partition

Grub Error 15 means the file which is responsible for letting the OS load is missing. This may happen if you change the partition settings. All you need to do is, boot from live CD of your linux and repair grub by pointing it in the right partition. This will solve the Grub Error 15. Hope this helps... All the best!
