Package: Grub2 version 1.98

I did a clean install of debian 6 Squeeze on my netbook.

 After the isnstallation i had only 2 grub items
 - debian
 - and debian single mode

 The other os-s had not been recognized.

 I did a upgrade-grub
 And grub did found 2 more OS-en

 - XP-loader (on /dev/sda1)
 -Microsoft XP Home Edition (on /dev/sda2)

 Again Puppy Linux was not found.
 In the past i have Puppy Linux copyed from USB to HD (/dev/sda8)
 And added vmlinuz an initrd.gz to the menu.list in grub
 These files are located in the root / directory (the same as by debian, 
only
 the name slightly differs)
