I thought that it wasn't Debian-specific but I couldn't get the original grubconf source to compile for some reason (and didn't have time to wonder about that right now - yes, I'm lazy) so I couldn't test that.

Yes, that fixes it. The second entry I mentioned still gets changed (hda12 -> hda1) but without better knowledge I suppose that may be because for some interesting reason grubconf doesn't seem to find my hda12 at all (at least it doesn't appear in the GUI). It might be something curious regarding my system so I decided not to report it until I have time to look into it further.

Thanks.
