Quoting Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
My guess is kernel.elf doesn't include the necessary code. It's about 60k long.
Now I'm sure about that. Unfortunately, grub-mkimage produces images that the OpenFirmware fails to load with "CLAIM failed" (even with just one short module). Indeed, bad things started with the first commit on 2007-02-21. I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out without Hollis.
(Not to put any pressure of anyone, but GNU ChangeLog shows its age here - the detailed changes are described, but the motivation behind the whole patch is not, yet the details can be recovered with the version control, whereas the motivation has to be guessed)
Sounds like "DISK-LABEL: read of block0 failed" is printed by the firmware and not by GRUB. Also, device enumeration is the same for all devices, so the fact that it only appears for some of them hints at a firmware bug.
Both ide0/disk and cd refer to the CD-ROM. The messages are not shown if there is a CD in the drive.
What happens if you set debug=disk ?
