perhaps this is related Bug #156428 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/156428
If it is this problem (with 2 seagate drives) the fix appears to be 

static const struct drive_list_entry hpa_list[] = {
 { "ST340823A", "ALL" },
 { "ST320413A", "ALL" },
 { NULL, NULL }
};

I am working on a system with what seems like identical issues, so far feisty 
will install but gutsy will only upgrade from feisty, the addition of 
all_generic_ide to the end of the boot command in the menu.lst seems to work 
but 
its still very slow. I think the problem is the seagate drives report a non 
existent sector.  this causes a massive slow down in boot up times. I am going 
to try hardy alpha2 alternate and see if it works. It installs without issue 
problem with some updates but thats to be expected.
