I have also had this problem. I have one SATA and one IDE drive. Root partition was set to (1,0) instead of (0,0).

The "solution" is to hit "e" to edit the GRUB sequence on boot and change it to (0,0).
I have some clue about GRUB, but I didn't notice the problem right away, and ended up wasting too much time trying to get
the system to boot.

This should DEFINITELY be upgraded in severity. I can't be the only person who has a SATA drive for applications and
cheaper IDE drives for mass storage.
