Ok. Your previous description was really confusing, since you said only
iso9660_stage1_5 but not stage2_eltorito at all.
Then, see this thread of the mailing list:

Summary: Grub 0.95 - Grub Bootable CD-ROM, no device (cd). Related to Error 21
at stage 1.5
Original Submission: Grub 0.95 - Grub Bootable CD-ROM, no device (cd).
I am using an IPC - Webnote. (IPC Archtec 503-060)
http://www.tickpc.co.uk/products.asp?sid=932333980&viewItem=1113
_Background_
I am a (minor) developer with Morphix.org - a GNU/Linux LiveCD (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livecd ) We have moved away from using Grub with
floppy disk emulation. To booting w/o emulation, using iso9660_stage1_5 (So
that we have space for kernel, long menu lists and graphics). When using this
option, I get Error 21 (disk does not exist) during stage 1.5
There are no other BIOS upgrades (google suggestion) available for my machine,
currently on highest version. Other Laptop have reported the same problem:-
acer TravelMate 290
Packard Bell Easynote E3269 (+ Another User - Packard Bell)
Toshiba Tecra S1 1.6ghz
(http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=10027)
(http://www.morphix.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1514&forum=2&jump=1)
_Tests_
A have also tried making a new iso without the -boot-load-size 4 This has no
effect on the error.
I have also created a cd-rom using grub 0.95 exactly as per the instruction in
the documentation. Without any menu or option files.
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Making%20a%20GRUB%20bootable%20CD-ROM
(no emulation mode in the El Torito specification)
So that I can just boot to grub command line. The devices fd0 and hd0 do exisit
but device (cd) does not exist.
For example I do: cat (<<TAB>>
I only get option of hd0. I am unable to access the other files on the iso.
A bug report that is mentions Error 21 (HD not CD-ROM), suggest down grading to
0.93.
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=6846
I have tried this, but I get a compile error :-
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../stage1 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wunused -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -malign-jumps=1 -malign-loops=1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bms/grub_i/grub-0.92/stage2'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
(Sorry I am not very good at compile errors - I'm still learning)
_Summary_
I would be greatful for any sugestions on what other tests I can try. Looks
like there is a problem between BIOS, GNU/Grub on CD when not using floppy
emulation. Seen in other laptops.

Quoting the follow up comment:-

Read the manual. Use stage2_eltorito.
I did! Read my original comments.partially copied below). I tried to carry out
as many tests as possible before submitting this to the mailing lists.
_Tests_
I have also created a cd-rom using grub 0.95 exactly as per the instruction in
the documentation. Without any menu or option files.
