Grub can read a file system without mounting. The root command does a mount. Rootnoverify does not attempt mount, it just makes the call based on what it reads from the table. For reasons sometimes impossible to explain, rootnoverify works when root does not. (And yes, this is usually reserved for a file system that grub cannot read, like NTFS, but it also sometimes resolves an issue with a native file system as well or when there is a problem reading the table.) Also try this using (hd0,5) and /dev/sda6.
Interesting. There may be a difference when grub attempts to replay the log of a filesystem that has one. I know that when grub resides on a reiserfs it replays the log very slowly, in memory. There is a Bugzilla about this, which will probably never be solved. It is not recomended to install grub on a reiserfs nowdays. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
