Jon Ramvi suggests this article as an answer to your question:
When you click Esc (when the white loading screen is showing) you get to choose between booting from the hard drive and the sd card read - and you choose the SD card?
The problem might be this; linux "counts alphabetically" though your drives. Hard drive: sda, memory card: sdb and so on. The memory card is set to boot from sdb (aka (hd1,0) ). If you have an external hard drive or something plugged in, linux might not set the sd card as sdb.

Fix:
When you get to GRUB, press E
There are some boot lines on the screen - the top one is boot (hd1,0)
Try changing this to (hd2,0) or (hd0,0)
This change is not saved, meaning it wont screw anything up
click B to boot

When you've got the right hd(x,x) and want to save it, do this while logged in:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
it says # something hd(1,0), change it to the right one, save and close
sudo update-grub
FAQ #187: “Official Ubuntu Eee SD card doesn't boot”.
