Try adding this on the line after your title, it tells grub where to look for 
said kernel (and initrd if you had one):
root (hd0,2)

So you would have this for Linux

title MEPIS at sda3, kernel 2.6.15-1-586tsc
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-586tsc root=/dev/sda3 nomce quiet vga=791
boot

And likely this for Windows

root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot

Not sure if the "boot" lines are necessary, but I've got them and I don't think 
they hurt.
