bios limitation, nothing to do with linux
have had the same problems on many boards
try the following :
(1) update bios
(2) run live linux to check
(3) update grub (reinstall if necessary)
(4) upgrade to new kernel
if these steps do not work, well then it is a hardware issue, nothing to 
do with the software
