The kernel would never get loaded if this was a grub issue- I think Aaron is right in that we don't have all the necessary drivers in our initrd, so the driver for his external CD drive wasn't loaded.
You are right. I did missed the "kernel panic". Btw: The bug I was refering to was: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6292
This might still be an issue.
Correct. Grub has some minor issues when booting certain hardware from CD (I *think* the grml guys documented this somewhere). I created archiso originally with grub in mind, but also wanted to offer isolinux versions for those with goofy/older hardware. We'd all prefer grub on a boot CD, as it allows us to do so much more at the boot loader level.
