I should mention that something *did* change. When attempting to use 
XFS, grub would give me a note about "18 partitions used" (I forget the 
exact language). This was different than I'd remembered; when I switched 
back to using reiserfs, grub reports using 19 partitions.

So there's something definitely interesting about XFS and booting.

As an additional note, if I use the grub boot-time commands to edit root 
to read, e.g., root=/dev/sda2 or root=/dev/sdb2, I get the same Error 15 
error message.

It may be that grub is complaining about grub and resiserfs, but I 
suspect that it has a true complain about the file system and what's on 
the partitions.
