Hi

I got some time ago same symptoms on 7-STABLE on Abit IP35-E.. when I 
upgraded to latest BIOS available from ABIT, and rebuilt kernel+userland 
from todays CVS.. it boots allright. Also I`ve set in BIOS those options 
that configure Mouse and Keyboard behaviour to "OS" option (defaults to 
"BIOS").

Don`t hesitate to contact me if u got other problems regarding this 
fantastic MoBo.

Best regards
