I have just installed the latest karmic 64 bits release from today (31-07-09) and still have this problem. Running Karmic on a Acer Aspire 5051 AWXMi with dual boot windows xp and karmic koala. After following suggenstions in this bug report I managed to get my xp installation detected, which wasn't directly after install. Steps followed:
Step 1 - Install os-prober package
Step 2 - cd /etc/grub.d
Step 3 - sudo gedit 30_otheros
Step 4 - search and replace $root with ${root}
Step 5 - Save 30_otheros
Step 6 - sudo update-grub2
Step 7 - sudo reboot
