fedora (FC5) is on hda (master), hdb (slave) has windows 2000 and gentoo.
I'm only unable to boot gentoo. When booting gentoo here's the error
message:
[...]
Progress :)
New error message:
checking root filesystem
fsc ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/hda4
Possibly non existen or swap device?
* fileystem couldn't be fixed
Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue).

I don't think it's a problem with grub per se, but that hdb used to be
hda, which is why there's an error regarding the filesystem of hda.
Gentoo needs to be "informed", I think, that it's on hdb now.
