This problem was with ubuntu feisty, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic. Sis 5513 controller.
This problem showed up with me as long boot time, the system couldn't identify me secondary ide controller, but took time to try.
In 'System/Preferences/Hardware Information' , 'Device Manager', the second CD drive wasn't identified, the first CD drive was identified.
After reading about the 'initrd' troubles above, I replaced the faulty 'initrd' with the one from UbuntuStudio, on the same machine.
UbuntuStudio didn't have the problem.
I verified that all was well by looking at 'Device Manager': both CD drives were identified.
