Title:
  grub 2 doesn't boot windows from second HDD

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  OOOook!
  Hi there!
  I have 2 HDD, on first I've intalled Ubuntu 11.04, on second - Windows 7. The problem is if i try to boot from grub Windows 7 it shows "Starting Windows" and then automaticly Reboot. If i try to boot from Second HDD (Windows 7) it boots normally, without any BSoD (no dumps in logs system).

  /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
  menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)" --class windows --class os {
     insmod part_msdos
     insmod ntfs
     drivemap -s (hd1) ${root}
     search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 8400117300116D84
     chainloader +1
  }
  ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

  Well i wrote it by myself, coz it didn't boot from default grub.cfg
  (sudo update-grub)

  Default grub.cfg (IT WAS)
