To be honest I tend to not use the recovery mode myself, I find it 
easier to boot off a live CD.  Sometimes if I'm really stuck and haven't 
got the time to fix it I'll backup my home directory and reinstall from 
scratch.  I know this probably isn't much help though.

Do you have a Linux User Group near by to you? (Sorry I wasn't sure 
where you live).

It sounds like the sort of thing if someone in my local LUG was having 
problems with that we'd probably suggest trying to make it to a LUG 
meeting, or alternatively arrange for one or two of us to go over to help.

As far as not replying goes, I've not had much time lately to look at 
the mailing list (or any of my personal e-mail) as I've been rushed off 
my feet with work.  I do try and help if and when I can though (although 
I'd hardly call myself an expert).
