We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Please can you check if this bug still applies there, and if it does, reopen it?

Thanks

I have 2 harddisk (pri master & slave). Whenever installing Linux to slave drive grub fails. Recently i tried fedora 3 and it got stuck at starting just displaying G R U B. I booted into rescue mode and when doing a "root (hd..)" tab doesnt list any drive. Since fedora 3 uses udev the /dev dierctory is empty and grub cant find the disk drives.

Also when installing grub from a Live CD the slave drive is given as (hd1). However after installing grub and booting into it - it always fails because now the slave drive is (hd0) after reboot. This happens everytime. So when instaling from a livecd/rescue cd the slave drive is hd1 and  
after installing the slave drive id changes to hd0 after reboot.
