My macbook stopped booting a while ago (since switching to kernel 2.6.30). After searching for hours and hours recompiling kernels I finally got a hint from a grub user/developer (not sure). I should use the grub2. After looking the tree for that version I only found the grub-9999 ebuild.

After manually adding the ~amd64 keyword and digesting the ebuild I could compile grub2.

Guess what? It worked, all the kernels I compiled and didn't work on the old grub, now worked! So for future reference: when a kernerl stops booting, check what changes were made in the bootloader :p
