I cannot reproduce your problem with the current code. Then check if the problem is in grub-mkimage or in diskboot.img. If diskboot.img is 512 bytes long, then grub-mkimage is wrong. If diskboot.img is not 512 bytes long, then the problem is in diskboot.img. In any case, please describe your environment, such as the compiler version, the arguments to the configure script and whatever else may be needed for others to reproduce your problem. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
