Well, at least I have a 790G chipset with SB750. I wonder if this bug
has anything to do with the BIOS setup. Because, recently I had another
problem where I got a "No active partition error" during boot. I solved
that by making my harddisk the first boot device in BIOS. Previously I
had my CDROM as the first boot device. Now, grub loads instantly without
this error, but then I get these softreset errors. Sometimes after the
first warning, it gives another error message saying modules.deb is not
found. But it continues loading the OS immediately. At other times, I
get some more softreset errors and the system waits for about 1-2
minutes before it again gives this modules.deb not found error and then
continues to load the OS.

I don't know much about the technical details of this, but it looks like
the kernel is trying to probe the disk and sometimes the probe just
works fine, and some other times it fails to find the disk.

Some other things that may be possibly related is that I have an old
80gb IDE disk attached and my SATA drive is connected to the 4th port.
The first 3 are empty.

Anybody have a similar setup?
