New comment/bug??

I have multiple disks on my system, partitions set and labeled thusly:

sda, (hd0) SATA, with ntfs (sata) & ext3 (home2)
sdb, (hd1) IDE 0,0, with ntfs (windows install)
sdc, (hd2) IDE 0,1, with ntfs (apps) & ext3 (home)
sdd, (hd3) IDE 1,0, with ext3 (ubuntu root)
sde, (hd4) IDE 1,1, with ntfs (save) & ext3 (home3)

Problem: grub2 does not seem to like the multi disk arrangement. Keeps trying to look for things on the wrong drives, even though it is installed on sdd.
at grub prompt, if I type ls / it points to a random drive. It changes from boot to boot. I have tried set root=(hd3,1)
and set env=/boot/grub/grubenv.
Still, the grub goes random, and also gives error:invalid environment block.
Only way I can boot to karmic is to edit out the record fail line then ctrl+x.

Is this going to be a constant thing in karmic? How about in the next release in april?
