Yes, I installed both GRUB 1 and GRUB 2, and loading core.img from  
GRUB 1 is working fine.  But GRUB 2 cannot load its own core.img, and  
neither can it load stage2:

grub> multiboot /boot/grub/core.img
error: unknown ELF class
grub> multiboot /boot/grub/stage2
alloc magic is broken at 0x93c50
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

That's current CVS versions of GRUB 1 and GRUB 2.  Compiled on Fedora  
8 x86_64 with all updates.
