Greg T. : Thanks to look deeper about your SATA controller. Nvidia SATA controllers sounds like hardware that can cause these kinds of problems to me, and in my opinion, its the #1 suspect for that problem since almost all Hard Drives / Floppy disks / CD/DVD Drives get serious errors. If you say that it worked perfectly before with Feisty and others, this can be a regression. But before all, can you :

1. Look if you can configure the BIOS to use "RAID" or "SATA" mode for you controller and look if it fixes your problem
2. ( Within Ubuntu Feisty/Gutsy, any that works ), type this on a terminal : sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log
3. Attach the lspci-vvnn.log file to that bug report ( which should have been created in your home directory. )

Thanks for your detailed report. Don't forget that it's never too late to add informations in the description if you find some new information that you didn't see the first time.
