Here are the results from the Boot Info Script and a list of the partitions:
sda (500GB) = Ubuntu Server 8.10
*sda1 = swap
*sda2 = /boot
*sda3 = /root
*sda4 = extended partition
**sda5 = /tmp
**sda6 = /var
**sda7 = /home
**sda8 = /torrentflux (user directory)
sdb (1TB) = data
*sdb1 = /serv (user directory)
sdc (1GB) = Ubuntu Desktop Live 8.10 USB drive
EDIT: edited the fstab, changing sdb to sda and vice versa and correcting the UUIDs, still get the same boot error.
============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs
## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=f3e0fc03-0227-411c-bb3c-a82174088e2e ro
## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=3ba9f3f6-6602-43da-a1ef-b91236e0dd54
## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=true
## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false
## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash
## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
## lockold=true
# lockold=false
## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=
## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0
## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single
## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all
## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true
## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false
## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
# savedefault=false
