Oh, I just mean that the version of this package is the same in sid and
in testing. I'v installed the package this afternoon and I'm using 1.96
+20080724-2.

I'm using ftp.fr and got the last version.

With the set command I can avoid this bug.
When I type set, I'v got :

prefix = (hd1,1)(md1)/boot/grub
root=hd1,1

The prefix looked strange to me, so I typed :
set prefix=(md1)/boot/grub
insmod normal
normal

And everything works ok.

Off course, such a procedure isn't usefull at every startup but I guess 
that the problem come from the chainload because the only place where
I found something about hd1 is menu.lst (and it is hd1,0, not hd1,1, strange).

But as I'm not sure that it come from the chainload I don't want to run upgrade-from-grub-legacy,
to avoid staying with an unbootable system.
