try booting with noacpi but with the BIOS set to AHCI
Already did that but same results - reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key
could be a BIOS upgrade would 'repair' the ACPI info stored in there.
I've just upgraded to the last release from Asustek, neither way I guess I could reflash it again.
I've just tried with Fedora 6, 7, with no possitive result and will do FC8 tomorrow(in less than 8 hours), FC9 has the same odd results, the only thing changed there is that it detects nVidia chipset and Graphics card from the beginning, but doesn't recognize HD in the install screen.
ugh. replace it with supported hardware. time is money, life is too short.
