I caught an awful lot of flack from a guy who eventually got mad and left when I said this before, but I'll say it again anyway.
If you're new to Linux and you're using the install from the CD-ROM download, the latest/greatest motherboard may work against you. The version of Ubuntu is several back and when it was created, the devices on some newer hardware did not exist. You *may* get things to work better by updating the OS (through the Ubuntu utility), other folks here will know if that's a good idea or not. NOT a knock against Linux, EMC, new motherboards, etc. Just the way things sometimes work out. and, for the record, I'm having the same problem installin Windows XP on a motherboard that didn't exist six months ago.
