Do you always see the same grub menu when booting? It is possible that you
have different grub configurations in each HD and the BIOS is choosing a
different disk to boot from each time.

I would try to make sure that the bios always choose the same disk when
booting. If this is not possible, then all files /boot/grub/grub.cfg in
each HD should be equal and use UUIDs.

Also, make sure that the /etc/fstab in each distribution use UUIDs.
