Must be a problem with ASUS boards. Mine's a P5LD2, and i'm getting the
exact same problem. I couldn't even start the liveCD, read thru the
errors and it was getting hung up on my DVD writer: "Error 0x01: CD is
probably confused".
Booted with "irqpoll" as suggested by the kernel output and was able to
get the livecd started and do an install.
Coincidentally, the drive that ubuntu is installed to is on the same IDE
channel as the drive. This mobo has 3 channels.. 2 IDE, 2 IDE RAID, and
2 SATA.
Will try ACPI off.
