17 : Cannot mount selected partition
     This error is returned if the partition requested exists,
     but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.

"fdisk -l /dev/hdb" would be interesting here, as well as 
/boot/grub/device.map and maybe running "grub" and entering
"root (hd1,0)" to see whether it likes the /boot partition.

As a last resort, try this one in GRUB shell:

grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> install (hd1,0)/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0)1+22 p
  (hd1,0)/grub/stage2 (hd1,0)/grub/grub.conf
