I can confirm this:

Asus P5K-VM, Ubuntu 7.04, SATA HDD, PATA DVDRW, Core2 Duo E6750.
Installed ubuntu from a live CD on this new machine.

PROBLEM: Installs fine from bootable CD. Freezes (at splash) when starting up though. Just after loading/mounting SATA modules.

I don't think this is specific to Core2duo, but Story 17 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core_2_Duo_Support gave me the solution.

FIX: Grub creates the incorrect entry for root, It was "root=/dev/hda1", but it must be "root=/dev/sda1"!
That fixes the problem on my board!

Running "uname -a" once in Ubuntu, gives: "Linux def-desktop 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux "

This is a show stopper on my setup. As I couldn't do anything until I edited the grub menu entry.
