Bug#492964: grub-pc: cross install Windows: "invalid identifier"

[Sladan]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-2
Severity: normal

I did "grub-install sda" and selecting Windows in the Grub2 menu returns "invalid identifier". When selecting Linux after trying Windows it returns "you have to load a kernel first". I can boot Linux after a reboot and Linux is always OK whithout trying the Windows entry first.
Windows is on sda3 (SATA) and Linux on hda2 (PATA). In the console it says root=hd1,2 when Linux works. It's root=hd1,3 after trying the Windows entry.
