Yup

That bugreport looks EXACTLY like the problem that I ran into.
Note that they have the same motherboard as me: ASUS P5B Deluxe

I will try pci=nommconf in a moment. It isn't the best workaround
however as it should reduce the available RAM from 4GB to 3GB.
agp=off would be a better workaround.
