I cannot explain why the kernel on the bootdisk works and the installed one doesn't. Maybe it's some timing problem (booting from HD is too fast). Also check your cabling. Many EIDE cables are too long.

Well, thanks everyone! Fiddling around the news I found some clues on my problem to avoid opening the case and switching drives... it seems to be related, as Hubert points out, to timing! The idea, if anyone has a similar problem is to override the AUTO setups in the BIOS for the PIO/DMA in the concerned drives. I could not figure out a rule, but it seems that setting 0/0 for both CD Drives works fine.
