Hello, YannUbuntu.

Yes. I still have this problem.

Here is link for my boot-info:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1207043/

Let me ephesize my statement:
If protective GPT record become first - then problem does not appears. It
appears only if it is NOT first.
Reason why I placed it NOT first - becouse my bios (which support UEFI)
refuse to run MBR boot in case it detect protective GPT record.

I have disabled UEFI in bios and using old fashion MBR boot.
I have performed dist-upgrade so here are updated info:

root@helena:~# apt-cache policy grub-pc
grub-pc:
  Installed: 1.99-21ubuntu3.1
  Candidate: 1.99-21ubuntu3.1
