I think I have a problem related to this. I recently upgraded from
feisty (fresh install - wiped root partition) and the install worked
fine.

I noticed my previous /dev/hda disk is now known as /dev/sda in gutsy,
even though it is a PATA disk, but didn't think more about it at the
time. Root partition is on another disk (which is serial ata, WDC
WD2500KS-00M ) known as /dev/sdb (it was a scsi dev in feisty too).

The problem is my system won't cold boot (ie after it has been powered
down for a while) - the kernel stops somewhere after grub and I'm dumped
to a rescue shell with no access to disk. It complains about not finding
root partition, in fact it can't find /dev/sdb at all. I can mount
/dev/sda* fine in the rescue shell, but nothing from /dev/sdb)

The funny thing is if I reboot from the rescue shell, gusty will happily
boot. This is reproducible EVERY time. I boot once, and as soon as it
hangs after grub I hit ctrl-alt-delete and everything works the second
time.

The IDE controller is a SiS 5513 (integrated on the mainboard)
