Public bug reported: I installed from a USB stick, and now the system (Eee PC 1000H) fails to boot if the install USB stick is not plugged in.
If you google that problem, there is lots of threads dealing with that problem, the best analysis I have seen is in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1661347 (also giving a workaround). The problem seems to be that the USB stick becomes the first BIOS disk if plugged in.
