Hi Sean,

I'm glad things are a little further on for you!

Looking at your dmesg the asus bios is still buggy (but i'm not sure it's specifically affecting what you're seeing).

Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

this isn't a big deal, but linux expects an apperture of >= 64MB, you may want to change this setting in your bios.

init IO_APIC IRQs
 IO-APIC (apicid-pin) 4-0, 4-16, 4-17, 4-18, 4-19, 4-20, 4-21, 4-22, 4-23 not connected.

timer doesn't work through the IO-APIC - disabling NMI Watchdog!
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ...Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 3d.
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
 failed.

I seem to remember that this may be related to the bios doing the wrong workaround for the timer. on the nvidia chipsets this shouldn't be required.

...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... works.
CPU 1: synchronized TSC with CPU 0 (last diff 17 cycles, maxerr 519 cycles)

you might want to try enabling ACPI 2.0 or something similar in your bios and use the HPET timer instead.

ACPI: Subsystem revision 20050309
    ACPI-0352: *** Error: Looking up [\_SB_.PCI0.LNK0] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND
search_node ffff810142857280 start_node ffff810142857280 return_node 0000000000000000

there are problems with the ACPI tables supplied by the bios. Linux is expecting to find these items and does not.

ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
    ACPI-0352: *** Error: Looking up [\_SB_.PCI0.APC0] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND
search_node ffff810142857180 start_node ffff810142857180 return_node 0000000000000000
    ACPI-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT] (Node ffff810142857140), AE_NOT_FOUND

same as above, the acpi tables are missing information.

ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A]: no GSI - using IRQ 5
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64

this may be nothing, but it does look a little disturbing (especially since it's the USB controller).

PCI: cache line size of 64 is not supported by device 0000:00:02.1
ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: park 0
ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: USB 2.0 initialized, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004

this is also disconcerting...

i'm not sure that i've provided a lot of enlightenment...
