I've got the same chip in an Asus board. Ubuntu fails to boot whenever I've got a second optical drive connected (hangs very early in device detection). In Jaunty, the workaround "hpet=disable" works, but in lucid it does'nt any more, other sources make me believe the parameter disappeared. The only workaround for me is to disable the APIC 2.0 stuff in my BIOS.
