I am beginning to wonder if the issue is with grub2 and not with
ubuntu. I believe that with the 10.04 release of ubuntu grub2 was the
chosen bootloader. When I installed 9.04, which I believe uses grub
legacy or grub1 as its default boot loader the error does not persist.
I don't know enough about it to verify or test though. Just noticed it
was a comment on the bug report.<br>

I second the motion of contacting ASUS, I have found them to be pretty
responsive to any technical queries. Perhaps they have a beta or custom
BIOS that would solve the problem.<br>
<br>
I have a relatively new system at home with a single core Athlon 64 and
a Nvidia graphics card running the latest Ubuntu 64bit w/ 4GB of RAM
that also won't hibernate; system acts like it is going to sleep and
then just reboots. I forget the exact make/model, MSI or something
cheaper ($50 for mobo & CPU @ Frys a year or so ago) so I think the
ACPI/AIPC issues are not restricted to just ASUS mobos.<br>

I'm not sure this will help you or not...<br>
<br>
I have the same error messages on my ASUS 1201N Eee PC running Ubuntu
10.04 x64. In my research, as limited as the information is on this, I
found this to be specific to ASUS + NVidia NForce2. Most people that
have this issue write that the error delays booting an additional few
seconds; no one has identified the same issues as you that I saw. Some
others report that the SMB issue is with ACPI and a few other
NForce2-controlled functions, including some boot-up USB issues. Yet
none that I saw had any issues with video. (For me, my 1201N won't
hibernate...)<br>
<br>
Of course, very few of them are running dual video cards and more than
8GB RAM, so your problem could certainly be a result of the error.
OTOH, going from BIOS 4.08 to 6.01 is a huge leap. Have you contacted
ASUS about this problem, or tried interim BIOS updates?<br>
<br>
Anyway, perhaps this link will help:<br>
