All my systems are configured that way, but with ext3 and reiserfs. I did have a similar problem with grub after I removed a failing IDE drive and booted off a new SATA one. I was pointed here and to the Ubuntu wiki by guys on the list http://linuxbraindump.org/2007/08/17/restoring-grub, hopefully this will provide a solution to your grub problem.
