GRUB has a strange methodology (well, strange to me given that I'm one of a handful of neo-luddites still using LILO) for determining disks. It's got root as hd2,0 which means (and I may be mistaken) the 2nd disk, first partition.. which makes sense in accordance with /dev/sdb but since GRUB sees 0 as a value and not a null, maybe change it to 1,0 ? I fear I'm just going to add to the confusing at this point and apologize for not being able to help offhand.
