Hello, I encountered the same problem, correct root partition is not properly detected: there's "root (hd0,6)" instead of "root (hd0,4)" (there's also a problem of uuids, but I will fill a bug report for this /or find already existing one/). "6" comes from, probably, Linux way of numbering partitions (sda1, 2, 5, 6, ...), but grub ("4") does it differently 1 - sda1, 2 - sda2, 3 - sda5, 4 - sda6, ... . sda6 is my root partition (see below for more info) - maybe here lays the cause?
