This seems to be fixed in the latest kernel builds (i.e., Hardy, specifically 2.6.24). I'm using an Asus M5N motherboard with an AMD X2 5000+. Steps to fix for me:

1) Disable ACPI in BIOS so I can actually boot.

2) Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add at the bottom:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted

3) sudo apt-get update

4) sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.24-4-generic

5) Reboot, reenabling ACPI in BIOS and then selecting the new kernel to boot to

6) Comment out the sources.list line so it doesn't try to update *everything* to Hardy. (I don't know what will happen when it sees that I have a package installed that's not in any repo, though.)
