The 'hd0,0' can't be valid as grub2 starts counting partition numbers
with 1.

Try to reduce your grub configuration to a minimum, see
http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/ and
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F
for further details regarding the loopback feature.
