Are you sure it isn't because you have your device names
hardcoded into your /boot/grub/grub.conf file?  If you move
your hard-drive from primary master (/dev/hda) to secondary
master (/dev/hdc) {as far as I remember} and that works, I
suspect you have /dev/hdcX coded in for your root partition.

If that's the case, and you want to switch them around, just
change it to /dev/hdaX.

Hope that helps,
Steve
