I modified my /etc/default/grub with:

GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

as specified in http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Projects/GNewSenseToMIPS

and executed again:

grub-reconfigure grub-yeeloong

in order to replace in /boot/grub/grub.cfg the uuid in the device paths
with /dev/hda1 and to generate a new /boot/grub.elf file.


Now, booting the Yeeloong with Grub gives better results as following:
A/ Working (booting complete and fully functional system)
gNewsense GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.27.1
gNewsense GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.31.6-libre1
B/ Non working (kernel panic or frozen screen, e.g. just after the tux
or "100% free software" icon):
gNewsense GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32.2-libre-lemote
gNewsense GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32.1-libre-lemote
gNewsense GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-libre-lemote
gNewsense GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-libre

This made me do some more testing of my own. These are my results, booting with GRUB first, PMON2000 second:

.32.2-libre-lemote:  no, yes
.32.1-libre-lemote:  no, yes
.32-libre:           no, no
.31.8-libre2-lemote: yes, yes
.31.6-libre1:        yes, yes
.30.9-libre++:       yes, yes
.27.7-libre:         yes, yes

This was with a grub.cfg that had root=/dev/hdaX, because it never works with UUID (as I've reported before).

So it looks like something's wrong with .32 kernels.
