 I built probematic grub-legacy 0.97-73 debian package with you patch,
 on x86_64 and i686 architectures. Both variants work fine:
 - command line /usr/sbin/grub and grub-install script run without faults,
 - kernels boot as they should.
 File systems are ext3 on both my computers.

 So I think the problem is solved. Thank you very much!
 Waiting for updated version in Debian repository.
