I was one of the people having 'hard-lock' problems.

I have not had a single unexplained lock since I upgraded my BIOS
to the latest, version RU, and did another makeworld.  I can't say
which fixed the 'hard-locks', the BIOS upgrade, or changes
in the kernel.

ACPI does not appear to work on this motherboard.  I have to
disable it.  The attached asl file gives errors when I try
using iasl on it.

Anyone have suggestions for the correct fixes to it?
