A long tale, but the details are missing.

To reinstall grub, you run "grub-install /dev/sda", right?
And what do /boot/grub/grub.conf and /boot/grub/device.map contain?

Still, one question remains. With grub in the mbr of sda, how do
you boot from sdb? Do you point grub.conf to your /boot partition?
Or perhaps you do some unusual chain-loading to the mbr of sdb?
