As I already told him privately in german the problem is
device.map says
(hd0) /dev/hdc
(hd1) /dev/hdd

But /proc/mounts says everything inclusive /boot is on /dev/hdd

I don't know if this should be changed, but better not discuss this in
this report ;)

Thanks this double prefix issue is now solved with the ..24-5 upload we
made this night and Robert uploaded :)


As soon as you got the new ..24-5 version, please do
grub-install --grub-setup=/bin/true "(hd0)" so core.img gets recreated,
if you still want to chainload it.
Or for the Linux mdraid guys you can use "(md0)" if your /boot is
on /dev/md0

This issue doestn't exist with grub2 in mbr and so core.img gets
directly loaded by it.
