Ok - that's a challenge

Of cause, I use UUID in grub. But if you look at grub.cfg, theres one place, 
where UUID is used and other places where (hd?, msdos?) is used. And all (hd?, 
...) entries are wrong - almost always.

Huh? - Did you ever installed a debian 6.x?

There's no choice to use another boot-manager. You have to use grub (which 
silently is grub2) or you have to use grub2. If grub2 is really stil beta - 
what the hell does it do in debian stable?

I tried to use "super grub2 disk" but that disk was not able to find any 
bootable partition too. It hangs during scan.

Grub from debian 6.0 had no problem with my system. Same is true for Ubuntu 
10.10

So where's my mistake?

kind regards
