grub is known for it's dislike of xfs, so with this whole setup use

rerun grub-install and you should be fine.
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.
I think you have two choices, convert /boot to ext2 and be sure you
are going down the best-tested code path, or fight and debug, read
code, learn grub source, play with the init parts of the boot
sequence, and then convert /boot to ext2 anyway. No matter how
"better" something else might be, /boot has nothing I use except at
boot, I don't need features or performance, I just want it to work.
Unless you are so frustrated you have entered "I am going to make this
*work* if it takes forever" mode, I would try the easy solution first.
Just my take on it.
Or you can get lucky and someone will have seen this before and hand you
a solution... ;-)
