Hi,

I performed additional test to reproduce this behavior.
So, when I had configuration as following:
Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System                  
/dev/hda1   *           1        5610    45062293+   7  HPFS/NTFS               
/dev/hda2            7013        9443    19527007+  83  Linux                   
/dev/hda3            5611        7012    11261565   82  Linux swap / Solaris    
/dev/hda4            9444        9728     2289262+  82  Linux swap / Solaris    

gui-install choose correct partition and all installation process seems to be 
successful, but after restart I see only 'grub>' prompt, like in:

After this first installation the partitions configuration looks as following 
(my usb stick corrupt dump from fdisk and I recreate it from memory):
Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System                  
/dev/hda1               1        5610    45062293+   7  HPFS/NTFS               
/dev/hda2            7013        9443    19527007+  83  Linux                   
/dev/hda3   *        5611        7012    11261565   82  Linux swap / Solaris    
/dev/hda4   *        9444        9728     2289262+  82  Linux swap / Solaris    

So I tried install again and then hda4 is used as target partition instead of 
hda3 - hda3 was selected as target in gui. 
Its looks like this 'boot' flag is somehow important for gui-install ;)
(Notice that hda3 is second partition on disk.)
