It could be the first problem described in Hardy's release caveats [1].
The related bug report [2] has been marked as Fix Released, so make sure
you have all the updates.
If an updated system still doesn't work then those release notes suggest
to connect the drive as slave or always boot with "all_generic_ide". For
the latter option, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [3]. You'll probably find a
line saying:
# defoptions=quiet splash
Change that to:
# defoptions=quiet splash all_generic_ide
and then run 'sudo update-grub' (without quotes) in a terminal.
