Title:
  Grub assigns the wrong hard drive number in menu.lst

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  I am still using grub 1, version 0.97-29ubuntu59.

  This problem occurred with both Mythbuntu 9.04, & newly installed
  9.10.

  I have the following partitions:
  hd0,0 37GB for a backup/test Mythbuntu system (currently 9.04); boot flag is here.
  hd0,1 37GB for the live Mythbuntu system (currently 9.10); this has the mount point "/" assigned.
  hd0,2 200 MB; linux swap
  hd1,0 300 GB; Myth recordings & videos; this has the mount point "/mnt.mythtv" assigned.
  hd2,0 930 GB; Myth recordings & videos; this has the mount point "/mnt.mythtv2" assigned.

  Whenever the system is updated with a new kernel, & the install
  program generates a new menu.lst, the menu.lst shows root (hd2, 0 ),
  instead of (hd0,1) for the menu lines "root".

  I am not sure whether it gets the right UUID for the menu lines
  beginning "kernel", as it is a while since I allowed automatic
  creation of menu.lst.  However, I think that it does.

  Also, it never creates an entry for the back-up system on (hd0,0).

  My usual solution is to refuse to allow the automatic creation of
  menu.lst

  Thanks for your help, Garry.
