It seems as if grub2 does not see the last of the inserted setup groups in 
40_custom filen.

I inserted the last group twice, and now grub2 sees it.

This is for my laptop, where alle my OS are encrypted, and all are grub legacy 
except for my 9.10

My OS setup is:

9.10 on sda1
8.10 on sda5
9.04 on sda7
8.04 on sdb1

Here is the last part of grub.cfg:

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.

menuentry "ubuntu 9.04 sda7/8" {
set root=(hd0,7)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set da9ce616-b91d-4428-8987-28eac900f328
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=/dev/mapper/sda8_crypt ro quiet splash
initrd		/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
}

menuentry "ubuntu 8.04 sdb1/2" {
set root=(hd1,1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 5bbc996b-765f-44bd-b72d-3b29dddc4e1c
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=/dev/mapper/sdb2_crypt ro quiet splash
initrd		/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic
}

menuentry "Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (sda5/6)" {
set root=(hd0,5)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 06bddef9-9637-4f12-abe6-b6bc11928f33
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=/dev/mapper/sda6_crypt ro quiet splash
initrd		/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
}

menuentry "Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (sda5/6)" {
set root=(hd0,5)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 06bddef9-9637-4f12-abe6-b6bc11928f33
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=/dev/mapper/sda6_crypt ro quiet splash
initrd		/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
}### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###

I however only see the 8.10 entry once on the grub2 boot loader menu!
