 I don't have the exact same board (ASUS P5K Deluxe also p35) but had a  
 similar issue. Even when I set IDE to AHCI it would still lockup if I  
 tried to install from CD. However if I loaded the kernel from the cd,  
 removed the disk at the loader screen, and performed a network install  
 it ran great. Just recently I tried installing a 7.2 Stable snapshot  
 from CD which suffered none of the issues described above. If I may  
 suggest something try installing a recent 7.2 snapshot from CD and  
 post back your results.
