Based on the photo on Newegg, it appears your ASUS motherboard uses an ASMedia
ASM1083 PCIe-PCI bridge.  Given the following LKML thread, it seems that you
are lucky it works at all.

Anyway, the DH77KC uses an ITE IT8892E PCIe-PCI bridge.  This chip seems to be
used on some Gigabyte boards, as well as the older Intel DH67BL.  The only bug
discussion I can find regarding the IT8892E is this old thread on the CentOS
mailing list.

The relative absence of bug discussions on the net leads me to think that
perhaps it is just a problem in the bios on the DH77KC.  Do you think it is
realistic to think that we can convince someone to fix the bios?  I would hate
to spend significant time tracking this down, only to have the bios developers
ignore us.  Please let me know whether you think this is worth pursuing.
