Me too: ASUS K5N8-E nVIDIA chipset xubuntu freshly installed
it was a real HORROR: xubuntu slow down at boot with hard disk led always ON, and system really slow with acpi and APIC support enabled on bios my ethernet card was seen as ... a FIREWIRE card!!! 8( acpi=off was only a workaround but NO PS/2 MOUSE can be configured, because is not seen in /proc/bus/input/devices!!! Also I had strange system locks about 5 minutes after the boot up, with no message in log files. HORROR!!! pci=nommconf worked well for me, now i'm happy. :) p.s. i HATE LINUX for these things :( -- ACPI does not work on Asus motherboard with nForce chipset https://launchpad.net/bugs/34651 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
