I also see this bug when I installed a LG UH10LS20K 10X Blu Ray ROM/DVDRW. The system is set up to boot from an IDE harddrive, and works without the Blu Ray. The system will boot from the Blu ray, so I know the drive and motherboard SATA work. But it won't boot from the harddrive with the blueray installed. I get the same string of "softreset failed" messages as imk.
