Can confirm this (or something very similar) with a couple of other recent Debian distributions as well as Ubuntu 7.04 (64studio, musix).

In my case I have hda, hdb and sda. The bios is configured to boot from sda. Grub installs correctly, except that for some reason groot is set to (hd2,0) in menu.lst (and all images are pointed accordingly to (hd2)). The correct settings should be (hd0,0) since the SATA device is configured first in the bios. This leads to a "File not found - Error 15" when trying to boot, which can be resolved by editing the menu.lst entries.
