Antares, have you tried to boot up the CD with "irqpoll" ? the CD should work (it does for me with a P5W DH Deluxe)
If that doesn't help you could also try to switch the DVD writer from slave to master and the harddrive from master to slave ... -- JMicron PATA/SATA Controller does not work https://launchpad.net/bugs/57502 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
