Nope - Grub uses the BIOS drive number.

Short answer is, no LVM, but there may be some partition labels involved, But wouldn't grub (or whoever decides these things) pick partitions from the booted drive instead of some other drive, if they exist?
Is your F8 system 32 or 64 bit? Is it using labels or LVM? (The default install uses LVM.)On the other hand, if I insert the offending hard drive into my fedora 8 system as a third drive, the system boots without problem.
"parted -l" will show the labels. If the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk are using the same labels, then usually the last label found will be used. (Partitions from the second drive.) You can also look at /etc/fstab to see if labels are being used.What should I look for? Labels, grub.conf or /etc/fstab? Reik
