Try disabling the apic. Break out of the loader by pressing '6' and then type: set hint.apic.0.disabled=1 boot We have two Asus P4VP-MX motherboards with that chipset. I think the apic is initialized too late or something. If you do a verbose boot without disabling the apic, you see apic messages after ata failed.
