All I did was add a drive, and grub would not work any more. Saying grub has nothing to do with it is complete BULL SHIT.
Grub has to use bios for the first stage of the boot. If adding a drive changed your bios' concept of which was your 1st and 2nd (bootable) drives, then grub really doesn't have anything to do with it. You need to install a boot loader on the drive that bios will boot.
If bios is still booting the initial grub loader, then it is a grub issue, but just involves setting the configuration to find where your /boot partition now using grub's non-Linux oriented device names.
I ended up having to re-install on a PATA drive to get FC3 working again.
That should only be necessary if your bios won't boot the SATA.
