Have you tried setting your disk controller from AHCI mode to Legacy/IDE emulation mode? Not sure if yours gives you the option, but it's worth a shot. You wouldn't get Native Command Queuing or Hot Swap, but it still works.
My system crashes while the kernel is loading on my Gigabyte 780G board until I force it in either 32-bit mode, or disable AHCI SATA. I'm actually running my fileserver off that board right now, running snv101a (just a build prior to 2008.11).
