Hi!

Problem remains in 12.04: Windows 8 probe leads to an entry similar to
this one

menuentry "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda3)" --class windows --class os {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ntfs
        set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 882A5ED92A5EC43A
        drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
        chainloader +1
}


which fails to boot. This manual entry can boot windows 8

menuentry "Windows 8 Release Preview" {
   set root=(hd0,msdos3)
   ntldr /bootmgr
}
