There was a related issue discussed on this list recently, search the |

archives for email from Duncan with subject "boot Gentoo from USB key" |

I don't know if this really applies to you, in my case I had that |
| 24 |
problem on a newly formatted (USB) drive. Newer mkfs.ext2 by default |
| 25 |
build 256 bytes I-nodes, and these are not recognized by grub. I |
| 26 |
re-formatted the drive using 128 bytes I-nodes (option -I to mkfs.ext2), |
| 27 |
and it ran smoothly. The symptoms were exactly as you describe, I could |
| 28 |
see the stage* files on the disk with ls, but grub told me Error 15. |

Did you re-create the filesystem on (hd0,0) recently? If so, you'll |
| 31 |
probably have the 256 byte I-Nodes that grub doesn't like. You can check |
| 32 |
I-node size with dumpe2fs. |
