I'm facing the same issue. I have installed ubuntu 9.10 on my external HDD (Western Digital 2.5" 120Gb - Transcend SATA enclosure). It's not possible to unplug the enclosure since I have my ubuntu installation on the external HDD. I need to try booting 3,4 times to get ubuntu started. It get stuck just before the login window.
