Still can't get GRUB to boot Xandros. 
Mepis boots fine from GRUB. 
Xandros boots fine from the boot floppy. 

I have tried every configuration for /boot/grub/menu.lst 
that has been suggested and none of them work. 
Most say: "Error 15. File not found." 
But the device is, exactly where menu.lst declares it to be. 

I have read and studied both 'man grub' and 'info grub' 
and everything I could find searching the 'net most of 
today and I still can't find the magic formula. 

I have also tried hitting 'c' at the GRUB menu and 
tabbing to try what seems like an infinite number 
of combinations, none of which have worked. 

Listed below are several file listings that may provide clues: 

Sure hope someone can help me solve this mystery. 

Thanks to everyone who has offered suggestions to try.
