And for Mehul,if you say that the grub>root (hd0,<Tab> showed the partition numbers as they were ie hda9 for the ninth partition,how do you explain the appearance of hda0 ie zeroth partition?
Only for the logical partitions, is the scheme followed. hda1 is a primary partition. I am not sure if it's so everytime but atleast in your case it is. So, hda1 is (hd0,0) whereas hda5 is (hd0,5). This is what was happening.
