I can boot the system directly with:-

linux (hd0,21)/boot/vmlinuz
initrd (hd0,21)/boot/initrd.img
}
...but that uses sdaxx device identifiers which I am trying to avoid in
favour of labels.
Is there a later version that fixes this?
Use this
menuentry 'Mandriva 2010.1 x86-64' {
search --no-floppy --label --set 2010_1_64_root
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL=2010_1_64_root ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img
}

Thanks Goh,
But I can't get that entry to display in the menu.
I don't see any syntax errors, maybe you do?
I added the first two of these for testing:-
menuentry 'Mandriva 2010.1 x86-64 root' {
search --no-floppy --label --set 2010_1_64_root
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL=2010_1_64_root ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img
}
menuentry 'Mandriva 2010.1 x86-64 multiboot' {
search --no-floppy --label --set 2010_1_64_root
multiboot /boot/grub/core.img
}
menuentry 'Mandriva 2010.1 x86-64' {
linux (hd0,21)/boot/vmlinuz
initrd (hd0,21)/boot/initrd.img
}
The multiboot entry displays OK and works, but your suggestion
('Mandriva 2010.1 x86-64 root') does not appear in the menu for testing!
Any ideas?
Cheers - Barry
