This one looks normal.. so it only fails if you actually boot from the
IDE drive? That's a bit odd. What if you boot from a Fedora install
disc in rescue mode - can it see the drive then?
I'm not too familiar with the Ubuntu boot process - it could be the
kernel messages are set up to be so quiet you don't get any output
even if it can't mount the root file system, etc.
