Since the grub and Debian developers know that, they made a big, fat warning when wanting to install grub2, asking if you're sure that you want to do it, since grub2 is still in beta, so it might break.Huh? - Did you ever installed a debian 6.x?
Squeeze, back when it was still Testing.
There's no choice to use another boot-manager. You have to use grub (which silently is grub2) or you have to use grub2.
When I installed Squeeze, it absolutely asked if I wanted grub or grub2. (Maybe because I used Expert Mode?)
If grub2 is really stil beta -
what the hell does it do in debian stable?
grub1 isn't maintained anymore. Focus your vitriol at the FSF.
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?
I don't remember seeing a link (or, preferably, attachment) of your boot.cfg and output of "/sbin/blkid | sort".
