   A couple of thoughts on this; Can you post the actual model # of
the hard drive. This could be an "alternate jumper" problem, where the
alternate jumpers need to be installed(they may NOT be shown on the
drive label - check mfg. web site).
   And have you tried editing the Grub boot line with such items as
"noacpi", "noscsi" or others?
