Bug Description
With my current systemconfig (3 sata disks and 4 ides) and ubuntu installed on
sda1, grub is configured by the ubuntu-installer to use hda1 instead. I did a
reinstall to make sure and it reproduced the error.
It states that the bootdisk is hd4,0 while it should be hd0,0, so seems like the
installer can't cope with sata / ide combination.

These bugs all have probelms installing GRUB on a SATA disc. Some with PATA present, some without. I do not have enough technical understanding to find exact duplicates.

I am having the same problem. It appears that when the kernel package
reconfigures grub it sees IDE drives first, but when the system is booting it
sees SATA drives first.
The package configures grub as "hd3". For the system to boot I have to change
this to "hd0".
I have two SATA drives and two IDE drives.
This is a very serious bug, as a user that is not farmiliar with grub would have
no idea how to boot their system. Please mark this as blocking breezy.
