Depending on your BIOS and SCSI controller, the drive mapping can change when you add an IDE drive to a SCSI system. LILO used to always assume that BIOS device 80 was the IDE drive. (It is supposed to determine that at boot time now.) So if you booted from the SCSI drive, you had to tell LILO that the SCSI drive was BIOS 80. I have not used Grub on a SCSI/IDE mix, but I am sure there is a way to tell it to double check the drive mapping when you add an IDE drive.
