Grub gone nuts after recent dist-upgrade in unstable



I've got installed:

grub-common 1.99-26
grub-pc-bin     [same]
grub-pc          [same]
grub2-common [same]

The upgrade rewrote the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file excluding two ext4 partitions
and a NTFS partition on the second HD that is /dev/sdb

The only options currently available is the i386 version of Linux unstable I
had on /dev/sda and the one I'm using to write this letter.

On running dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc I get no errors when selecting the /dev/sda
and /dev/sdb drives but nothing shows up on the generated /grub.cfg file that
would indicate this.

I tried to restore grub using the heretofore reliable Grub Rescatux disk and
indeed it seemed to accomplish the same task as running dpkg-reconfigure
grub-pc

Why do you think the latest grub upgrade isn't seeing the /dev/sdb drive with
its NTFS and two EXT4 partitions? Gparted shows both devices that is sda and
sdb.

I don't know if it matters and I only mention it in case, but I don't use the
KVM module and I was wondering if that could be causing a related problem
with Grub now.

Kind of confounded here.
