One of the most common reasons for getting a "404 - Component not found" error on your Joomla 1.5 front page is a missing default menu item.
To resolve the issue, make sure you set a default menu from your Joomla admin area > Menus. Choose a menu item and set it as default by clicking the Default button at the top right menu.
