Where do I look? > For the record (and for future google searchers, this is a popular motherboard), recompiling the dsdt into the kernel after fixing a number of compilation errors fixed this, both for bios version 1007 and for 1013-002, so I'm confident it's the fixing of the dsdt that's important here.
