I have just experienced this issue again (among others) trying to set up
XP/Ubuntu 9.10 dual boot on a desktop (DFI mobo with nForce4 chipset,
skt939 AMD X2 4400+, 320GB sda, 500GB sdb).

After sorting out my other issues, I again came to this bug, however the
behaviour is quite different to my laptop (which is the system I've been
referring to in my other posts). On the laptop; XP booted fine, but
Ubuntu had the "error: device not found...". This time Ubuntu boots fine
from Grub but Windows has the "error: device not found...".

The same fix applies though: #1 above
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/403408/comments/1)
works fine (except as noted previously, the line that needs editing is
174 in the latest version of the Grub mkconfig file). As I stated above,
this workaround/fix survived my most recent kernel update (on the
laptop), lets hope its fixed in the next Grub update.
