It could be that it is using the wrong BIOS device number when it tries to load the files from the grub directory. It would be interesting to see the contents of /boot/grub/device.map and /boot/grub/grub.conf. It would be interesting if the BIOS mapped the PATA devices 80 through 83, and the SATA drives as 84 and 85. (I seam to remember some BIOS's that did something like that is the past.) I would think that would make the drive hd4 instead of hd0. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
