(Get the code!)
Just was able to fix my first boot issue by pressing 'M' for manual recover then doing the following:
mount -o remount,rw /
dpkg --configure -a # Lots of packages were configured (due to a failed dist-upgrade)
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install gdm-guest-session gdm ubuntu-desktop # Some packages were complaining about not configuring properly
grub-install /dev/sda
Aside from some weird issues with my BIOS entering a reboot loop, the dist-upgrade seems to have worked alright.
There are still 2 problems I'm having:
1) It doesn't seem to boot correctly from the first HDD if USB-HDD or CDROM are anywhere above in the boot priority list
2) Every so often I still get the "softreset" and "The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present" errors (This is random.. it's usually /home, /, or whatever other partition happens to complain).
AHCI vs IDE modes in the BIOS don't change anything. I'm guessing it's a Gigabyte motherboard issue, or something to do with the ATI SB7x0 chipset. So far I haven't tried compiling a new kernel with "CONFIG_SATA_PMP=n" yet... but that seems like it might work...
