Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make

This was reported against a very old release so I'm going to close it.
If you still have the issue please reopen
My observation:
When I install Ubuntu 9.10 (Grub2) to hdb the PC cannot boot. The bios goes to
the first grub line, maybe it's "Grub Loading" and dies. The bios lets me
choose which hard drive I boot from. If I tell the bios to boot from hdb then
I get an old grub legacy menu.
My conclusion i
If MBR is on hd0 and /boot are on hd1, grub2 cannot find it...
/boot must be on the same disk than MBR
Fedora11 adverts it on install process. Suggest to make a boot partition
on first hd
