In my case, it cannot be a question of "the existing grub multiboot partition being back-level," because I install GRUB into the root partition that I'm creating. I even install the GRUB boot loader ("stage1") into the Boot Block of the root partition (NOT in the Master Boot Block--I use a custom-compiled GRUB as my Master Boot Loader, and let it chainload to whichever partition that I want to boot.
In my case, the problem is that I'm trying to set up "/home" as a separate partition--that won't work either.
It seems to me that intrepid will fail unless you install EVERYTHING into one partition--including "/boot", "/home", and whichever locations for you might wish to use a separate partition.
Anyway, I have circumvented the problem by initially setting up a single, self-contained root partition, and afterwards moving "/home" into its own partition.
