I don't know if this is the same thing, but I once had a problem with the BIOS getting confused after I had added and removed drives and cdroms and switched them around etc. I could also boot from a livecd and see that everything was as expected, but it didn't work that way for booting. After a few days of frustration and confusion, resetting the BIOS settings and rebooting fixed it. Don't forget to note any BIOS changes you want to keep before doing this.
