Sounds like a pain. I would just adapt the CentOS 6 program.log
commands for your case. That's a 2 minute test. And it ought to work.

I'm not familiar with that. How would I go about adapting the CentOS 6 program.log commands?

Clearly the computer finds the drive, reads the MBR and executes stage
1. The missing part is it's not loading or not executing stage 2 for
some reason. I'm just not convinced the bootloader is installed
correctly is the source of the problem with the 2nd drive. It's not
like the BIOS or HBA card firmware is going to faceplace right in
between stage 1 and stage 2 bootloaders executing. If there were a
problem there, the drive simply doesn't show up and no part of the
bootloader gets loaded.

Definitely a strange problem. I'm hoping that doing a new install onto these drives rather than trying to inherit the install used on the smaller drives will work better.
