Title:
  "file not found" unhelpful

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When grub says

    Error 15 file not found

  it would IMMENSELY helpful if it included the name of the file it
  could not find.

  Was it the kernel it couldn't find?
  was it the initrd image? 
  was it something else?

  a person has to be psychic to figure it out!?!

  Please please please include the name of the file in the error
  message.


  
  How to reproduce:  take a file system image with tar (carefully) but don't fix menu.lst
  boot using a rescue disk, mkfs the partition, mount it and restore the tarball into it.
  Run grub-install (which reports success).
  Try to boot... mwahahahahaha
  WFT?  Guess what the problem is.  Nope, wrong, guess what the problem is.  Nope, wrong, guess....
