Have you tried to change MPS mode to 1.1 from 1.4 (I see addres message timeouts in your log)?

My VP6 died on me recently with some funny symptoms: it hangs in X when I start netscape and move mouse, or if I do bk clone on kernel tree, it dies with kernel BUG at /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/include/asm/smplock.h:62! BUG in various places pretty soon. (this BUG is only appears if 2 CPUs are present in motherboard). So if your troubles began only recently, you might want to try another motherboard just to be sure.
