The short splashscreen is normal if the timeout parameter is not set or is set to a small value. Could you have a /boot on /dev/sda that is chaining to one on /dev/sdb? With a stanza in grub.conf like title Other rootnoverify (hd1) chainloader +1 or title Other rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 It is a clean way of handling multiple linux operating systems and letting each handle its own boot and grub configuration.
