Fails how?
After selecting to boot from cdrom in the bios it outputs the following:
Welcome to GRUB!

error: hd111 cannot get C/H/S values.
Enetering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

Then I'm at the rescue prompt.

The problem is reproducible with SalixLive or a minimal image I've created for testing purpose, but so far only on that one machine of mine. You can acquire the latter here: http://gaia.homelinux.org/misc/grub-test.iso (4.3M)

I've experimented a bit with ls on the rescue prompt here's the output:
> ls
(hd0)
> ls (hd0)
error: unknown filesystem

If you need anything else, just let me know and I'll try to do my best to help you.

Regards,
Andreas
