Grub and my second hard disk

 Hi!

 I use grub-0.91.
 Eariler I had only one hard disk attached as IDE Primary Master. I used
Grub with it with no problem.
 Then I bought another HD. Then I attached this new HD as IDE Primary
Master (/dev/hda) and put the old one on IDE Secondary Slave (/dev/hdd). I
reintstalled Grub on /dev/hdd [with 
root (hd1,7)  
setup (hd1) ], 
but when I wanted to boot from it, there was displayed only "GRUB" at the
bottom of my screen (no error message), and then the system got frozen. I
tried it several times, and I always got this result.
 Then I set IDE Primary Master to "None" in the BIOS, and I tried again to
install Grub on /dev/hdd, according to the changes, with 
root (hd0,7)
setup (hd0) ,
and I succeeded! Everything worked fine also when I switched back IDE
Primary Master to "Auto" in BIOS. 
 So finally I solved my problem but this phenomenon is strange to me, I
think it can be called a bug.

Please reply to address@hidden, as I am not subscribed to the bug-grub
list.

Thanks,
Csaba Henk
