For what it's worth, I had a hell of a time with SATA & PATA drives in my ASUS Pundit-R.  (250GB Maxtor midline SATA & NEC DVD-RW or ASUS DVD-RW drives)

DMA acceleration would not work on either PATA DVD drive, some FC3 kernels would segfault on startup, Knoppix or Gentoo LiveCDs would not boot, and other problems.

I dropped to a 160GB Seagate PATA drive, and aside from it filling up rather quickly, all the problems went away.  That won't solve your problems, but 2 trips to ASUS RMA and 4 months didn't fix mine either...
