Grub, pata, and sata
I've just filed bug 0004634. Grub won't install onto my pata drive now
that I have a sata drive installed. This is grub 0.97 on CentOS5.5. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm guessing that I can always install Fedora on hda, which should give me a working grub, but I was hoping for something a little less involved.

If you use Gparted live CD or Parted Magic, how do those drives show up?

Has anyone else encountered this? *I'm guessing that I can always install Fedora on hda, which should give me a working grub, but I was hoping for something a little less involved. Thanks, Dave Mackay every time i reported this bug on some previous fedora versions, it was closed with notabug:"As mentioned in other bug reports, this isn't really a bug. There's no way for the drive order to be consistently detected." *https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458138 -- When one door is closed, another is open.

Even if the order were wrong it should still let me install. If it was installing on the wrong drive, that would be a separate issue.
