Sonny:

I just read you bought a u46e. I did too at Best Buy, took me the 
weekend to be able to use it correctly with Debian. Turns out if you go 
in your BIOS settings (I think if you press F2 when you see the ASUS 
logo, but I'll check tonight, it doesn't tell you which F-key it is!), 
you then get to it. Then press on the next arrow to get to the second 
tab (I think from memory). You should see a "VT-d" field, you can 
disable it, then save the changes.
After that, all will work well, no need to turn off acpi either.
