for years (from potato/woody on) i have mounted 3 hd' s in my machine

mnt/sdy etc. and in fstab /dev/sdx /mnt/sdx ext3 user 0 0&& (to keep
it simple). on each hd i had a bootloader (lilo and later grub) installed.
with grub2 as bootloader under squeeze i cannot mount other hd's anymore
when independently on the *other* hd' s a bootloader (grub2) in the mbr is
installed. without installing grub2 in the mbr of a sata-hd the hd on which
i am mounting *does* recognize the other hd *with the exception of (old) ata
hd's.
my question: what do i miss if anything? or is this normal for the new grub?
is there anything to do about this? has this got to do with UUID-numbers?
I assume that by "mount" you mean "boot from".
What's the output of "os-prober"?
