Please don't close the bug. We need to determine if this is something that we can fix or if we should switch back to isolinux.

look my situation on http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215756 with cdrom and ich9r set ar AHCi i have the problem, with cdrom and ich9r set IDE i don't have the problem can grub have some problem with ICH9 in AHCI mode ? on the same motherboard, cdrom on PATA Marvel don't have the problem.
nothing new with amd64 beta2. grub can't load config also from ICH9 AHCI ODD
Michele, this bug is about USB, not AHCI. Bug #219359 is about AHCI.
Still the same problem with amd64 live-dvd beta2
OK. Are any of you with a USB CD-ROM available to test some ISO images for me? I'm going to build a few specifically for troubleshooting some of the booting issues.
I can test from Marvell Pata or ICH9 AHCI if you want.
Yes , if it can help resolve the problem

Hi, I'm having problems booting 2008.beta2-r1 from my USB DVD Drive. I get as far as seeing this: Loading stage2 and then it all stops. I don't even get as far as seeing a grub menu :-( I'm on a VIA EPIA-PD10000 mini-itx board and that has always worked well with isolinux cd's :-) I'm able to test with my setup if you need help.
I also have a system with a non USB, LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-1635S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive and this errors after trying to read Stage 1 with an 0x80 error and won't boot :-(

May I test your LiveCD on this machine?
Since we're switching back to ISOLinux for the release media, this problem will quite like be gone then.

I just wanted to confirm this as well, booting to the grub prompt. LG USB cd/dvd burner, ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE mb, amd64 X2 6400+ BE. I tried the 2008.0 beta2 LiveDVD, thought about trying a different one but thought to check here first. Do you still need more testing of alternative images, or will the release image be available soon?
This should be fixed in 2008.0, which is now released.
