    initial v1  
    1 I've identified the 0906 BIOS update as the one resolving this. ASUS says in their log: "Updated the literal string of SATA SSD displayed in BIOS setup.", which I couldn't verify, i.e. the strings looked the same to me at first glance, though both disks are actually listed as ATA so this may not even apply. It definitely changed something in the ATA init sequence which makes it not lock up anymore. I've downgraded to 0802 again and I'm now investigating a bit more. In either case, the up- and downgrades worked for me when using the [[http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/UpgradeBIOS|Ubuntu instructions]] (placing the file renamed to 900.ROM on a 16MB FAT16 formated partition).
