I have the very same modprobe crash but with a Gigabyte 965P DS4 mainboard, which has the same Intel 965 chipset as your Asus mainboard.
I don't have any SATA hard discs connected, the only SATA device here is a SATA DVD burner. My harddiscs are IDE drives which are connected to the motherboards JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (AHCI is turned off, it runs in IDE mode).
The last working kernel here is linux-image-2.6.20-6-generic 2.6.20-6.11. Every other kernel thereafter produces the crash from comment #1.
