Bug#265228: maybe wrong partition

hello,

do you have some disk at /dev/hda at all? grub's partition counting
works different from the one in linux. your first harddisk is (0) and
the first partition on this one ist (0,0). if you have only hdb and hdc
grub counts the disks and partitions like the following:
hdb is (0)
 hdb1 is (0,0)
 hdb2 is (0,1)
 hdb3 is (0,2)

hdc is (1)
 hdc1 is (1,0)
 ... and so on ...

if you have only hdd, even this one will be (0), and hdd1 (0,0).

please verify that you have the correct partition set in grub, as (1,2)
could be a nonexistant one.

if you're unsure, please send you complete harddisk setup.

if you fixes this bug on your own, because for instance my assumption
was correct, please send a short note and close the bug.

bye
