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.

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."
