Hello, 

As far as I know does i.in.erdas only work with *.lan files, r.in.gdal should 
be able to recognize  *.img files. No idea why it failed.
I am not sure when ERDAS changes their file types and which correspond to 7.4. 
As far as I know they changed it three times *.gis, *.lan and finally *.img. 
If you have ERDAS running on your machine as well, you might try to export 
your file as *.lan and import it into GRASS with i.in.erdas. 
Another very convenient method would be to export your image in ERDAS directly 
as GRASS file. 

I hope it helps, regards Martin
