I have a similar setup. (Using SATA instead). I boot with ACPI=off and
(irqfixup if using the onboard nv SATA controller). Make sure your BIOS is
set to a non-pnp OS.

In addition, I'm having some sort of race between X and keyboard driver
(seem to interact with SATA too). I solved that by setting CPU affinity to
the same processor for X and the keyboard IRQ handler.

Booting with apic=verbose might give some useful output as well.

Good luck, I've beating my head against the MB since I got it.
