Grub's 'error 15' means it can't find the files needed to boot. Try running
the 'repair installed system' module from your installation media (DVD/CD)
and select to have it reinstall the bootloader (grub.) This will leave the
updated kernel intact. I seem to recall having to do this before discovering
kernel updates via YOU have to 'fly solo' ;-)
