Do two things for me. Make sure you have the latest BIOS for that Asus MB,
and get the pre15 driver. If those two don't fix it, then also try messing
with the new options aic7xxx=stpwlev and aic7xxx=term_override as documented
in the README.aic7xxx file.
OK...that's all of my email for now. To others out there, I'm leaving in
about 5 minutes and will be gone for several days, so I'm letting this pre15
driver cook a while as I'm gone. I'll talk to people after I get back.
