I can confirm this works.

Here's the dmesg :
Apr 29 23:17:42 asustour kernel: [ 0.000000] ASUS P4B266 detected: force use of acpi=ht
Apr 29 23:17:42 asustour kernel: [ 0.000000] Latest BIOSes might work better with acpi=force

Hope this is would be at least better than previous state.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
