I can confirm this too.

Enabling the JMicron controller in my BIOS (Asus P5W DH Deluxe) makes it look like the system hangs during booting. I see the splash screen, but then it immediately pauses. After a long time i see a slowbox console. It says I can type help, when I did this nothing showed up, so I pressed ctrl+alt+del and then I saw the help listing and the system wend for a reboot.

I'm running Feisty herd 4.

Adding "all-generic-ide irqpoll" to my grub menu.lst had no effect (something I read on the forums).
