No, gentoo doesn't try to mount the second HD. Are the boot logs still
preserved somewhere? I didn't do dmesg then, as I didn't notice any
problem booting.
Well, I also changed bootloader when I installed the second disk
(/dev/hdb). I had
lilo in the MBR of /dev/hda, and now I have grub also in the same place.
The lilo bootloader of the MBR passed control to the boot sector of the
gentoo partition, whivh also had (and still has) grub. Now, the
grub in the MBR boots gentoo
directly.
My /boot/grub/menu.lst of the redhat part (corresponding to the MBR of
/dev/hda):
