I had already tried before my first post everything you wrote up to
this point:

I don't remember now if this was in AHCI or not. WHat value should I
set this to? AHCI, I guess?

Also:

I had done this, but not using only one partition, I used something
like (exact values escape my mind now):

/boot
/
swap
/home

I'll try your other suggestions later, thanks.
