It seems that linux-boot-prober must be getting confused and reporting that /boot is on a different partition. Can you boot d-i and, after the hard drive modules are loaded, run the command: linux-boot-prober /dev/discs/disc0/part5 and send me the output. Feel free to include the output when it's run on all your other linux partitons too; the output of the os-prober command wouldn't hurt either. -- see shy jo
