I believe I came across a problem similar to yours a while back. It was
a problem with SuSE - it refused to boot from the HDD but booted fine
with the Boot CD. Eventually, it turned out that the boot partition was
not marked as active. So you might want to look into that. Try (as root)

#fdisk -l

and see if the Boot column has a '*' for /dev/hda1. If not, you can run

#fdisk /dev/hda

and then type 'a' at the fdisk prompt to toggle the bootable flag. Once 
done, you need to save the changes to the partition table and exit. Type 
'm' at the fdisk prompt for help.
