I've finally managed to attach a second computer via serial cable and do 
a debug run of grub. I'm attaching the log. The command that has 
triggered the reboot is "linux (hd0," followed by a TAB key press.
I've used grub-pc 1.95+20080128-1 as the problem is still there in this 
version, too.

Despite of what I wrote earlier, grub-pc_1.95+20071101-1_i386 exhibits 
the same problem when booting with grub.cfg in place ("free magic is 
broken") although it hasn't in the beginning. I think it may has 
something to do with the content of grub.cfg (which I recreated with 
grub-update) or its physical location on the disk.

Thanks,
Piotr Kaczuba
