Nobody knows how it happens because you didn't fill in the steps to 
reproduce.  Does it take a bios setting change to make  this happen, or 
will it happen if you keep all your /boot partitions on the same primary 
drive with grub in the mbr (setting the kernel root to another drive), 
or are you chainloading a 2nd grub install on the other drive?

I'd expect the first method to keep things consistent other than when 
the device name conventions change among kernel versions.
