2.4.0 and grub (0.5.96.1)

I had to reinstall grub on my machine (because windoze has the
bad habit of deleting any bootloader in the MBR). This is what
happened:
[...]
grub> root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
 Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 15 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
 Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0)1+15 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage 2"... failed

Error 22: No such partition
[...]

When I try the same in 2.2.18 grub installs just fine. I looked
into my syslog and dmesg but didn't find any new messages. Attached
you'll find the output dmesg

Cheers
Martin
