Don't know if it relates to you motherboard, but I read something and added 
this to my kernel line. acpi_enforce_resources=lax

I have a M4A78-E with a Phenom II X4 processor.with 4GB of Ram.

That line had to do with ASUS having added something to there hardware, 
but it  isn't openly documented.

Good Luck.

 I have encountered a problem with FC-11 86_64 and my Asus M2N-MX board. 
 I originally
 installed FC-11 fine with 2 GB of Ram, but when I went to increase it to 
 4 GB, ran into problems.
 
 The M2N-MX boots in Fedora Core 11 with 2 GB of RAM. With 4 GB of RAM, 
 the boot fails (and scrambles the video) unless 'acpi=ht' is added to 
 the kernel parameters.
 
 Has anyone else run into this? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Supposedly this only affects ASUS motherboards, and then only 
lm_sensors.  Currently, its only function is to prevent lm_sensors from 
working on ASUS motherboards.  Someday it may do more.

No, even though ASUS does not document their hardware, it isn't for 
anything they added.  It is a half-baked attempt to require that only 
one driver use a piece of hardware.  Currently it is only enabled for 
ASUS motherboards, and is only used by lm_sensors.  See, for example, 
this thread on LKML:
