If I understood that part about hd emulation right, that would mean the

That's true, if that were the problem the image would not work on any
machine. If it works on other machines, then it seems to be a problem
with the bios.
Output:
grub rescue> set
prefix=(hd111)/boot/grub/i386-pc/
root=hd111
The odd ( 111 ) hd number is a hint that the bios is broken. Does ls
report any available drives? Maybe it is there, but the bios did not
pass the correct number.
Yes, as I wrote in my first mail:
grub rescue> ls
(hd0)
grub rescue> ls (hd0)
error: unknown filesystem
Is there any way to clearly identify the BIOS as the culprit? Or maybe
even a chance to implement a workardound at some point if it really is a
problem with the BIOS?
I guess the fact that I don't have such problems with isolinux can be
explained with different use of BIOS functionality?
I'm not asking because it were a serious problem for me. I'd just like
to lower the probability that other users face unlike me a real problem.
At least if it's possible with considerable effort.
