[Bug 463231] New: Automatic repair of grub is totally broken

Summary: Automatic repair of grub is totally broken
Product: openSUSE 11.1
Version: Final
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Major
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: registration@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After upgrading to 11.1 I've installed Windows on another partition. Of course,
this broken grub so I've booted openSUSE's DVD in automatic repair mode.
In the past it worked completely automatically repairing grub without any
problems. Now the repair process fails to discover any operating systems
successfully (including openSUSE itself) and suggests configuration that is
bogus.
Moreover, even if I agree to follow its suggestion it tries to install grub
twice (it says that it fails for the first time) and informs me that second
attempt was successful. As you probably guess, nothing gets installed, in fact.
I had to install grub using command line, and only after logging into openSUSE
I used Yast2 to fix my grub configuration. Yast2 didn't have any problem with
detecting new operating system and proposing *correct* grub configuration.
Here is my disk layout:
grek-laptop:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000ca17b
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 3518 28258303+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 3519 6129 20972855 83 Linux
