Since it is difficult to figure out exactly what you were trying
to say, I could only guess that the message appeared to say grub is
not the problem.

Whether you agree or not, many people are having trouble with
the way grub handles drive assignments, and is one of the
main reasons for attrition from FC.

Did I hurt your feelings?
I'm so sorry.
There are dozens of bug reports, for exactly the same problem, none
of them have answers, and many appeared to have been closed.
I booted off the rescue disk, then shuffled around my data so I
could boot off a PATA drive, then reinstalled onto that drive.
I can now run FC3 again, and will not attempt to install onto a SATA
drive again until I hear a bunch of success stories. Grub doesn't
seem to be able to handle a mixture of drive types, and until it
can there should be an alternate boot loader.
