I haven't seen any resolution to this yet, and we haven't yet found anything that will work other than Vista.
I have seen some messages suggesting that it would work by disabling acpi and even some vague messages about how to do that but nothing that is clear and well defined. One of the review of this machine on newegg.com suggests that ASUS needs to address this in a BIOS update. I don't know but I had not imagined that it would be such a problem to get any open source operating system to work on it.
