Details:

Grub is often hard enough to get working and bad error messages make it
worse. I'm trying to boot and getting a "Error 15: File not Found".

It would be useful if it showed what file isn't found.

Additionally cryptic error codes are not as useful as a longer code that
explains the error in detail, perhaps offering a hint of a solution. After
all, you can't hardly get a device these days that isn't in gigabytes of data.
Surely there's room for good error messages.
