These devices are probably 8 paths to the same disk accessed via the
QLA2xxx host bus adapter(s), so this is fine.

Dieter,
If the lenny version of grub-pc boots the machine, but the squeeze one
does not, then this is a grub-pc regression, and its maintainers would
probably be most interested to hear about this issue, so please reassing
the bug appropriately.
If you can't use the lenny (or any other working) version of grub-pc for
some reason, then you might want to try another bootloader, like for
example extlinux.
Since you checked that Grub2 is indeed installed to the right device
(it's usual place is the first sectors of the disk starting with the
MBR, before the first partition), this bug probably does not belong to
Debian Installer in the strict sense.
