I can confirm this bug:
After upgrading to 8.04, the kernel doesn't recognize one of my hard
disks (the one with the root partition on it) any more (a seagate IDE
disk). Booting with the old (2.6.22) kernel works fine. It's not
recognized by the live CD either. The other disk (also IDE) is
displayed alright, all partitions show up correctly in /dev/disk/* as
sdd* as expected. The disk without the partition table _does_ show up
as a block device as /dev/sdc, though.
Relevant output from lshw (run under 2.6.22) follows:

Please pass this bug over to the kernel team as critical (unable to
mount the root file system here), and possibly also upstream. (Don't
know if this is fixed in a newer kernel version maybe.)
