I've got an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe motherboard.

I'd like to take a shot at playing around with the kernel debugger and 
try to
find out what's happening but as I've never done it before I am not 
sure
what sort of stuff to look for.

I take it that this is not the same board you've been having
problems with for the past several months  ?
Can you give a little more information about the place the DragonFly
CD seems to make it to. Perhaps at the loader type 'boot -v' and that
may help give us some more indication of the problem.
Are you trying to boot off the SATA ? If or even if not it could be the
nForce chipset on the board doing something odd.
