Description of problem: grub is not using /boot/grub/grub.conf - boots from wrong drive - uses root (hd1,0) not root (hd0,0). I have edited the grub.conf file but grub seems to ignore it.

I have moved to i386 Fedora 10, so I will not be able to provide any info on x86_64. This may have been a configuration error when I loaded the system. I may have supplied one of the hard drives and not the RAID mapped set as the install location for grub. I noticed that anaconda defaulted to the first BIOS hard drive even though it was part of a RAID mirror and had to change that when I installed i386. I was doing a custom disk layout both times.
