You have a partition table on the device, I don't. Anyway, I found it. It is buried in the filesystem modules of grub in the mount hook. It checks for | ((current_drive & 0x80) || (current_slice != 0)) | && (current_slice != PC_SLICE_TYPE_EXT2FS) | && (current_slice != PC_SLICE_TYPE_LINUX_RAID) | && (! IS_PC_SLICE_TYPE_BSD_WITH_FS (current_slice, FS_EXT2FS)) | && (! IS_PC_SLICE_TYPE_BSD_WITH_FS (current_slice, FS_OTHER)) Which reads as: - If device is a harddisk, - or it is a slice with none matching type, then abort. It simply refuses to find filesystems on the whole disk. If I remove the current_disk check it is able to find the filesystem.
